AFTER BRAILLE
such like to be dealt and informed
inverted to touch and rhythm
rising upon vein and pulse
pretense incurring disjuncture
demanding reversal to skin
scheme of texture of condition
cataract confinement of speech
slow thickness of saliva
sound upon sound and
always sliver of light
limp memory in focus
forced imprint and permanent
pierce of aura and eclipse
intuition of rain before
rain 's appearance before
dark hush envelops
contention among aspects
held tight to flesh
yet further to cognate
in senses now amplified
compression of sound
so as to create implosion
then to be reduced to
shudders, subject to fits.
