Tie

Steady my uncertain circulation 
  O aimless carrier of respiration 
  Jewels on a lash, all exists in reserve 
  Parallel paths yield a parallel curve 

  The hiss of a smoke cherry sizzled in snow 
  Is a stale tone to break every quake in the rose 
  Tear-water tea & speaker-sighed prose 
  A howl of furnace breath to curl the toes 

  Pick me up & brush me off 
  Splinter, cluster, & vapor 
  Stung by the pace of constancy loss 
  In glint, in dust, on pape
