Melodious Moving Moving

these the passage of engagements
melodious moving moving mooring
satellites by plenitude by amorous
opacity to these fertile imaginings

satellites a centrifugal chorus of
assertions an alphabet inscribed in
chemicals by wondering
in stellar resonance

patterned discursive mischief
of an earth already scarlet with dissipation summoning itself afresh to be
splendid born be scripting immensities

to be nascent be parapets
rising over the tired acreage
of a vineyard lost to sequía
parapets behind which the mystery

of fountains is inventing inventing
itself in perpetuity where colors spill
& abound & fixtures disintegrate &
stellar resonance spells you for me

without a wisp of dissipation
