A Poem by Heller Levinson

Corner of Abscess & Silk

                                                        (for Amy Huffman

slippage pour munitions wind

-- the wound of demonstration –

glisten-gristle

grapple-grope

pustulance-shroud

                                 :  bunch fibrillatives

                                    fibrillatives bunching

bejeweling the lumber of still life

-- avalanche vortex

    wind-catch

    bristle-claw

clairvoyance shreds substance

cornering the altitudes of omnipresent delay
