Study, learn, Muses burn,
accountability of degrees turned
turns into a strictured
structure of adherent sorts.
Plumb and discern, aged and forlorn,
excess knowledge at times retorts
proclaimed program. Upstart, impart,
examine the heart of syllables, riddles,
verbs that refine, define and dine on
nouns of pro or con or kind.
Period at end, then start again
to wear down, reach back, advise,
disguise the fragmented
mind of conceptual time.

Freely besoughted words of dreaming,
disregard for form, formatic frantic
frenzy of absolute energy, fearful
of becoming nothing but ache in meter,
subscribes to sound of lettered life
and rhythms with fleeting adverbial use
of arrangement of space.
Unabsolutes heard, a bird becomes
a swan, a wand, an open wound
traveling interiors of worlded loom
with fathomed flight of fantasy eyes
to, essentially, establish
a foot on the bloom
of poetry.
