VERNON FRAZER

 

 

Turning Dark Again

 

orbital placebo sky

trimmed nightly as an aftermath

 

conjunction detrimental

where legends of past demands

spring their vernal sequins

 

noxious catacombs leak splendor

 

gardens ventilate 

when creaking roofs intone

their telepathic replay

 

to transmit 

a slow decay as path and pace
