While the sun stops orA
seems to to define a termB
for the indeterminableC
the human aspect hereD
in the West Village spindlesE
to a mutilated dazzleC
-
niched shards of solitudeF
embedded in these brownstoneG
walkups such that the HudsonH
at the foot of Twelfth StreetI
might be a thing that'sE
done with mirrors definitionH
-
by deracination grungeJ
hip hop Chinese takeoutK
co ops while the globe'sE
elixir caters year by yearL
to the resurgence of thisE
climbing tentpole frilled and stippledK
-
yet again with bloomM
to greet the solsticeE
What year was it it overN
took the fire escape TheO
roof's its next objectiveP
Will posterity if thereQ
-
is any pause to regretK
such layerings of shadeK
their cadenced crests' transE
valuation of decay the dustK
and perfume of an allC
too terminable processE
