BEFORE SUNCLAIM

  May the body

of text 

resembling the translucent eye 

not yet conceived

by a family of readers

  never before associated 

with becoming

    in the meticulous

unfolding of  lives

a hindrance to the primal

along with our willfulness
    to forsake

continuing these passages

    without the brave

pioneers eradicating  

outer fringes

of a massive bulk

 foreseen as the approaching 

unknown

and the evaporating 

ice block

carried  by   tremendous velocity
in the rear cab of a train 

allow   these vapors
  to swirl    as  colorful associations

  disappear   

   with  violence 

whose immediate proximity

of      cool wintering  

 with the startled

abandon of a leaf 

      just forgotten

 among the few heated 

whispers of birds

  awakened before  

     the transmitted

upon astonished lines 

   

 humming  to evaporate   

with only blue

    

       notes

left on     steps 

along   lines 

of fortified egos

  those  shells of ice

 swept up

 by the hired help
