For the end comes reaching
a sonnet in twin cinema

For the end comes reaching

as a watchmaker's hand

taking what is

forded by friends &

I live prodigal

by another name

jailed by a sentence

bankrupt by tradition

for the end comes fully

sated, what remains is

your face

un-

covered in

my blood

in the quiet

harvests

now af-

filiations

of death come

as a crest of words

in a story stopped

& words begot—

fed yet un-

breathing,

your free wonder

conceding

the earth & sun

as ether, burning pious
