Hunk a shard, plinth

in the trades, reader. Heft a latch, ketch.
Maximum drop with forward motion

cornice and cupola, balustrade.
Epoxy mix, elixers a replica mica
headblock, jeopardy. Wrap the warp: museum

deck planks, stain, a column
writer. Demolition site

screws, a scan ensconced my early skylark.

from "Astragal Fascia"
THE OCCASIONAL TABLES (2000)
