Leroy Baker Poet Acrostic

Verse of Burgess

Sprawling, against a backlit Sun.   Magenta

 the Clockwork of Time

and its infinite antinominies

..................of timeless aimlessness

and Void of Time

 fades as a memory

the pulse and rhythm of each staccato stroke



against the clockwork springs

 and fine-tuned apparatus

    the pendulum swing

and weighted balance strokes



Masses of Fixed, orbital constructs

and circadian heartbeat pulses

conforming to some Final End

of Morbid Alarm

or Eternal Awakening



 the surreal bending of metronome reflection

    twists the Absolute structure of melody

(notwithstanding it's momentary cadence,

and sequence of endless notes



Cascading

backwards in patch-work puzzlement,

  like Shostakovich having a break before the

Symphony begins

and lets out Piano-Forte brash

as if in dissonant protest

 to the scandal of patterned, and ordered

Tablature
