Infinitive Stem


– over which,
as Moses had assigned 
     to ordain his seed
so did     the poets invoke
the churches veil
the prepositions     distance
the critics desire
the suspects counterfeit
the perverts discover
the analysts diagnose
the verbs qualify
the temples divide
the internet consume
the alchemists poison
the melancholic
terminate
& their eyes did blind them
no star having fallen
into legible script,

I  trip.
