Dear David,
An old man, stolen, a frown photograph, the eye loft, is it tear, or a signature, how an old man, does trance piece kept, is it? How do I fold the two gloves, sound bold, yet the name, heightened size, do I grain begin? A shelter, tie, the label, woven, do I cry, guidance, eager sown, yet sly, how a garment practice, the withered, blanket, knitted rug, the inner fume, room, knit, loom, the layered breath, does the folded care, a lick, eager, passage set? Or tolerance show, my name, in company, a trance, a frown sort know, or soldered creep, how a caring company, does shielded eyes, do they weep, or stir, the blink, passing fleet, a gaze smile know? To which old man, is it I, or shelter tie, the fleeting company, the voices, eager kept, in the moon’ shelter, to a will, tied even, yet often, sly, how two hands, a medicine, never sept, the root, willing, suspicion, do I lie? Or shielded mercy, the coin old, coined, fold, criminal, sold, mission front, yet back, how a trial, does sever meet, the shy eyes held, coin slaughtered, cry knowing fold, to never weep, guidance death showl, is it a step? How a step, slight chance, come again, the withered trance, sealing ridge, do I set, it timed piece time know? Or safety, creeping slide, to permission, how guidance, guides, passing slide, the withered frame, and the frosted loom shielded eyes, a smile, handle warmth – and the grain? The handle, clear, yet burrowed find, do I fold, the cry sold, tie? Permission sly, or let it lie? How an old man, forced excitement, tend, the willing, hook, the damsel, in distress does tend, shaped in youth, a moon’s cry, or fortune, does the word, how a shawl, fragrance, butchered, the letter seam, my last lie? Where guidance shaped, the dagger, wept, even frown, tear set? An old man, in anger, the final piece, his name, shild?
