Vincent(e)

Culpable and subject to a thousand errors and inputs

Platitudinal, impregnable an alphabet tipsy and barefoot

Vernacular is a limit, formal and amusing

Gesture evades capture, evaporates and always moving

Poetry is so pretentious it's enough to exist and

Inhabit a shared place extending and falling through empty space

Between shoulder blades and piano keys, capacity unfolding deficient for speech

I can't recall the address of that dark old house was it remodeled or demolished

In a Vincent Price southern gothic sonnet anonymous where the pendulum had fallen

Standing in smithereens, a mystery unseen, abundant in the heat
