breaking the reader's confirmed wit

Birds in the Air

Little flying machines, regal hues under the azure infinite
gyring, in their own heavens, no rules, and precincts,

Erase these prolonged merciless marks on the moon, turn to me

The carpet of damp lashes have decked up anklets at their ends

A label on the headstone
Leaking the serum of life
Reading the fate of mortals

Edges, blades and cuts
Rosary, recitation and meditation
Bleeding breast, brushed ribs
Scorched veins, fumed vitals and but a pulsating heart
