I quite like this but I struggled reading it. My problem was, that I imposed a 3/4 rhythm on the lines
when shoals ripe for freezing / have slumped into crates
˘ ¯ ˘ ˘ ¯ ˘ / ˘ ¯ ˘ ˘ ¯
and couldn’t get the waltz out of my head. My fault, not yours.
The repetition of the word 'crates' jarred a bit. 'Crates that have been sealed' would solve that but maybe screw up you rhythm. I also kept reading 'bring INto focus'.
I especially like ' wind’s empty mouth' though I'm not sure what you're getting at when you say ' the pier of myself'.
lashing piers wing strafing wind ripe red unshaven face creating a has-been worn out at the pier with no routes, s/he can thorn more than injure a mouth

Just a few observations – hope they help.
Hear post the ages;
a new poem for us who
draft back: gathered
at the sealed mystery,
we manifest as ember
gulls, freezing howl
lashing piers
wing strafing wind
ripe red unshaven
face creating
a has-been
worn out at the pier
with no routes,
s/he can thorn more
than injure a mouth
slumped self when
empty of focus my
truck bring
why after rod

That form says we are a work
of secondary hands,
tasked by transference
from sibling to parent
wo/men makers
self begot beings
we know no time sealed
mystery manifest in
the ember when our spirit
was not before us,
love a point of view
new creation doctrine
remembered which
remember we did, spark
whence knowing learnt
ember in a dying race
who saw when this was
remember, re-ember mah
thou quickening self
power-raised by our own
gods Abc diel inglais
lied furiously i levelled
with Satan for soon his
power, expect to feel
on thy head his devouring
funder and fire 28 to 92's
storms off the 93E palace
no last lines, Book 5
bullshit 'bout rhythm
in beauty, sound the way
for sense converges blank
freely lessons us how to
write verse on bland rustled
seraphs Abdiel spake four
faithless friends faithful
only to themselves, beleif
found among they hearing
post-ages pooh, a tree 'em
'n us who
draft back: gathered

gulls, freezing howl
lashing Superior violence
Milton feared retorted
scornful darts his back

doomed Labels: piers
of truth from this constant

strafing wind
Among innumerable foe

thornless His loyalty
s/he creating
a has-been industry
slumped worn soldier
fishy routes through
self-hostile pierless
s/he thorns he kept
his love, hi S zeal;
more than a number,
an e xample more
than winds oar mouth
when
empty of focus my

forth a rough mist
wrought by singular

writing through just
textual ekphrasis,
tommy stearns hose

Jim, thanks for reading and commenting.
Desmond, not sure what all that was about...
