born: drops, of water, of

sliding, of walled air

deciding through,

* *

through: the bough

bows its gem-pimpled palm:

yielding, desertion, one

gesture, a fresco, the

three lives (chaos

clear flight and chaos) speak

nothing; rustle;

nothing: the hand

behind’s a master’s: look,

varnish in-

-visible, doorholding

air
