10 January 2010 - The Names of Snow (A Cento)

Decimals falling in a degreeless noon.
The dance of the gnat-sized lovers.
When the heavier stress falls on 'is'.
Ground-addressed envelopes.

Lord Robert and myself on the snuff.
Tommy fall be'ind.
Queene of confort and of good compaignye.
Deep embattled clouds.

Little feet moving sacred sand.
A sky that never cared less.
Fourteenth century scholastic philosophy.
The purple egg-stones.

The Vision of fulfilled desire.
A basin.
The secret law of rebellious linen.
Antarctica, uttered sound by sound.

Old prayers, granted, melting.
