Two tomorrows and one afternoon.
That is what was given and removed.
One evening, zero incantations added.
Three mornings, infinite regressions
subtracted. Four, junctures, free will
Tallied. What is forgiven and what
Is not renewed. What is a preamble,
If not followed in action interpellated
by hebetude? How can it be so? And
when is it just not such? Ceremoniously,
what is, and what isn’t simultaneously?
Briars and brambles of beauty and thorns.
