Omissions a M Moore Tribute 5 6 7

part 5 6 7

an uneasy motto
shaped
by exactness
     and. need
and troubled
    arrogance
without a
      thread
        and
          room
            for mercy

simplicity
    a consequence
     of affection
       reposed
         in patience
withstands
close countenance
&
inspection

such change
      survives
the rigours
of
obigation

a citadel
    inviolate
    implodes
with
bravado
     feelings
     flowering
in a
rhapsody
    of renewal
   to combine
the invisible
    to open
      &elaborate
plainly
in the eyes
