Going through the minded world it is
obvious what is never heard.
In fact, it is triumphant.
Now the walls blow
group duets, turning
power into reason,
like beat & baseline confirm
abbreviation,
chant, & organized moonlight.
Even the strolling city gained
something swift: wizardry,
hard brass surprising
earlier outings down the
range. It is a
brilliant turning,
a zitherless
line, a melancholy
piñata in
ever mocking
rain, hinted in earlier
translation.
