Fragments From Inside An Architect

1.

[...]all things kneel
to ideals because it will not do
to buckle[...]


[...]like bees, blind
and building not a fortress
but the scaffolds to encase it
midst construction...forget
the fortress. The stacked carapaces,

the volume of

exhaustion, together & yielding the lost-wax
cast, the absent spire at center-[...]

"passion-a word born to mean suffering"[...]

2.

Mine is not the mouth
of an architect, teeth set

& grinding at the wrong angles
for textbook drawings,

please leave with the impression
that I have no designs. I am only alive.
