ADJUSTMENT YOU Walk away again (EXCERPT)

Like a river rich in time trout moved invisibly beneath us
Without concealing the afternoon on shitbed creek
When characterization split like a diamond uncorrupted
Wintry symmetry tied us to the banister: two shores
One soul of a blind alley and one of little jewels
Too diurnal to transgress the bedroom
Too much art and no cinder light to read by
Intuition a blameless advance in a bear hunt
That next year there would be different arms
