Diatonic tree's,

slimy grease,

clanky careens-
and dodgy reefs,

slogs of sleeves

A thinly packaged salutation
Revealing reads and rushes

Stylish prose self styled emphatic
A photographic written pose
Of diatonic scale chromatic
Form: Couplet

vertiginous memory,
atonal music,

Triumphant Life:
only success
merely failure
only light
merely darkness
only everything
merely nothing
