glossary of agog

pylons pinching a nerve in a complex
dripping with jewels, tucked into 
concave cadavers.
rainbow junkies, clipping the spring
where the action acts
and the pearl is the oyster
Itself.

jupiter for the fools.
all estrangement, lofty now
for the gathering of shadows
has an eloquent star
as bashful as a stump
in a glade.

Life is the bespoke cog in a wheel
of silent rotation that returns
to the original noise
of a promise.
