"A Game of Patience
My ascent,

Or will company join,
Partner, accompany
Me

At some point
Point my journey not alone

Where line meets line,
Point circles not only circle described
By scribbling Scribe,
Or Architect of Reason

But appoints, conjoins, anoints
Sphere's full ~ bodied compass points ~

Where a star's well ~ engineered stair
Embodies angle built
By Gravitas, where physic's rule
Measures

An angel's Golden Measure where treasure
Stores more than merely rhyme
Enclosed in Thyme

But houses enduring structure,
Dove ~ tailed joints

A house
Heart held, lived, dwelled within ~

Building blocks
For my alphabet

To house
My alphabet's
Building blocks ...

Building blocks
For my alphabet,

My alphabet yielding
Both blocks and dwelling ~ ?"

Hosts to species long since departed."

Charring Cross ..."
