Mirage Evinced across the Thalassic


Blowing out from the dunes
one sees a thermal homology 
an evanescent dust migration
verdant 
procursive 
feral
an equine 
part retrocausal & blizzard 
like a blur across spinning gemstone deltas 
with its fault scarps 
its meteorites 
its darkened mineral monsoons

it possesses by its speed 
the first locomotion of the Eocene 
with the spore of its Arabian pulling shoulders

its mass 
eclectic 
quantum 
its dense & switchable markings 
both Chestnut & Sorrel

its anti-laryngeal 
inverted 
anathema 
with its suspension surmounted 
by deciduous grasp 
by protozoic fermentation 
partaking of the fever 
of apricot 
of Babylonian magenta 
with its sea-blue rendezvous with clouds

in which it appears 
doubled 
riderless

throughout a belt of stunned coronas 
elaborate 
negated 
envacuumed

eruptive 
like a nervous fatidic 
across a latitude of cycles 
pluperfect 
with motionless centigrade farming

this Shetland this Cayuse
with the pansophical grafts of separate planetary fables
blowing
across the pelagic transparency of the captian
with his ship falling upward
in a dust enhanced pneumonias

motion perhaps 
across 
the solferino impressions ignited on Venusian plateaus 
or perhaps 
across fields of glass inverted on Miranda 
or vitrescent eruptions as waves from the abyss

as if 
the quantum captian had never existed 
had never taken as current 
the paralysis 
the salt 
the ingestions 
emitted from the drift envisioned by great Loxodromes

the glance of Bombay & Carthage 
of fiery diatonic glaciers 
predacious 
obscure 
kaleidoscopic so that all the parts of amphora 
exist within a vacant spectral harness

& the mirage 
the pony as nanism
with its radius 
its tarsus 
its gaskin 
utterly burning & uncontained 
always beguiling 
the optical dice with refraction
