Trailing Off...

You ought to...
and then you do, like a slipknot
encircling my spirit, white hot
reapplying the pressure I sought
spacial and basic (like I forgot)

I might have...
but then I don't, like a recoil
and a contemplative gargoyle
all thoughts tracing to foil
tumult redressed in turmoil

It was obvious...
so that it would, but alas, broken
the remedy swift, sour, unspoken
bending knees on floors oaken
gesture grand; a gentle token

And inevitably...
refired in kilns, hewn from gold
a memory of things newly old
the pretense of a tale untold
a poet sweating the bitter cold

"A memory of things newly old"... amidst all the absolutely stunning imagery, this image is the one that had the most impact on me. Extraordinary, Brian! All the best to you.
