to gently break is also
to infinitely split

to impossibly grammatise
is (for some) to terribly flinch

there are everyday things
deeper than death
rolling their stride

ground from silted melt-water and a thousand spent leaves
heaped together, ancestors
all of them. Mulch to mycelium fruits. Time in time and down, down

unmade velvet sheets, fold up, up, up emerald wedges
tesselate,
embroidered with scant hedgerows
