pavane on pavement
a jazz pattern nothing
no, no set of steps
'cept constellations common kept
endlessly presenting
opening movements, from: and to:
slowly here and/or quickly there
sum of paved permanence shared

What tends apart on the one hand
parts apart from and to re-

silver creasing crescent
a bright, unblinking satellite dot
so there is a blue
turning less so till
comes the lightest green
paling yellow to yellow to yellow-gold to golden
golden burns clean through orange straight
runs along long line of red
reddening lessening to a gray-greying out
corner of an eye
a hovering plane adjusts its wingtips

hour hand, second hand with diligent persistence
meets neatly at a middle o' clock sun
crossing, cursing its laps
around a public swear
bearing sharp and mighty swords
held aloft its common points

correspondence by shifts in key
awaiting watcher, lookout
hearing what must be fingers
push down at the player piano

nameless name
faceless face
ten tips of fingers string
edges of elbows knock ten
clumsy, fumbling thoughts
who is not, who is naught
pressed away till two forgot

further than far
from and too
long past
passed over
lately later
