Reconnective Drift

from http://iopscience.iop.org

Dimming pitch reconnective drift, re-creating

fevered arisen, stirring

around enraptured disconnection

from this soil

To which we stake,

foundation walls – sturdy truth, always

standing, returning with roots to mark momentary release

on crumbling gray-ash bricks,

to demolition’s day

Witching unwit clutching silken pearl, fine

and finite, twisting

beads into moments’ comprehension

of knots and mangles pulled, in collapse

along the floor boards

In natural light pulling shadows

across reflecting casts
