In it scales sparkle. Lilacs contour an
octopus. Clarinet’s call rankles as I – in
tunic top, lilac nails – snorkel arcs. Sea
silk, arcane – I sculpt, caress it all. Noon
star casts luck on “N”, porcelain lilies, a
pearl laurel sticks to snails. Canonic,
sacral icon: sea cloak, lint lustre, spin
as cantaloupe roll, cans clink. It rises
atop sea, as crocus – lilac? – krill nest in “N”,
Noctiluca, peonies snarl, stark lilacs
