hillrise

fair folding hills
in rutilant edges of cloud
egg-tacked to the bottom of the sky

majuscule meme stark
in the mirror-painted expanseless track
the remembered thing becomes blunter

here stands the pilfered proto-plazmoan
beholding two realities
heaven-shackled

Magnus Quintus Overubergow
but also the fuckage of all free grace
playing bocce

on the rubber grass
perceive the gift of design
in the shattered-most

even within the shattered air
hanging in a reflection
eyes look and try taking

the remembered thing
now and ever shattered within
the tissues of the blood

risen and met up
fair-clouded and pleat-burnished
the eggy hills

Is this what happens between sensation and framing it? The moment itself is dynamic but after that it's static/dead? It never is like what it was at the time? Whatever we make of it, it always is just next to.

"beholding two realities
heaven-shackled"

Feeling the sublime (repeatedly exposing ourselves to it--becoming addicted to it) vs. the intervals of regularity that last too long?

Amy, I'd say that's a pretty good analysis. Thanks, Daniel
