Implicity
for Donna de la Perrière
1/
Restraint ghosts many infancies toward catch and release.
How many are the likely flowers?
2/
To voice the story transcends what occurred.
Curtained rooms, plush shadows, threadbare home.
3/
Curiosity takes twilight as a baseline.
Structure pinks the surface of invisibility.
4/
To become what we condone means
lacing the emergence artfully.
5/
White space meant to be sufficient
overtakes blood text. Is innocence a fiction?
6/
A sotto blend of capsicum, deciduous trees, blancmange
relaxes complexity.
7/
The mistral of Languedoc scrubs atmosphere,
yielding shrill clarity, a pattern of oblique trees.
8/
Amenities not armaments unravel pathways,
waiting for the body to weigh nothing.
9/
To orchestrate immunity by way of breath and chill
redeems when interrupted by the garden.
10/
North of probability and vortices, a warm mind
rescues love from common sense.
