Опять прошу прощения

teeming clockfaces never taming time
the patient enemy of me and mine

days dawn from outer space nights from within
life like a mucous membrane wearing thin

the body sheathed in retina head to toe
to mirror ruddy rowans' ebb and flow

to launch skyward the &-shaped cranes
counting the inner nights and the outer days

wedging the blue into the ocean’s fold
forever throwing sediment never dissolved
