"Greta's cedar hope chest
Is full of pamphlets
Glass shelves of romantic vignettes
A journal laced with sedimentary prose
Norma gathers and collects vintage photoplays
Hair combs valentines
Lillian allows the animals to scratch
And the leather crack
And the mail collect in the box as coatings peel
Agnes veiled cathedral dweller
Smiles with benevolent pain
But it's Katrina's fair
Tuesday morning
As she with caution unlatches the flat door
She alone cascades to the basement
Careful not to spoil her
Calico printed pinafore
Composite traits and mannerists
All others dissipate
Marguerite vigilant
She dwells upon frigid casements
Sarah's thoughts in high velocity
Accusations always pierce and pass
Clara abandons her passions for distastes
A Miss Lenora P. Sinclair
Early for coffee in the pool
"I'm resituating all your words"
Capital Space Colon Paragraph
Sylvia keeps beasts in jars labeled by
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family
Genus
Species
But it's Katrina's fair
Tuesday morning
As she with caution unlatches the flat door
She alone cascades to the basement
Careful not to spoil her
Calico printed pinafore
Composite traits and mannerists
All others dissipate
Down the way a silk design
This face is mine
Tis I, Katrina!
Katrina, I."

pardon the drapery language I choose
Waltz in Vienna has taught me to use
every tall room a fiction
leatherbound treasure books
up to the ceiling
gold spine upon spine
the guile and the treason
the faith and allegiance

the author grew fat to imagine
his lead pen careening
gave voice to the scheming
an Aryan cabale to dethrone
the guile and the treason

to the empire unknown
the baron and his mistress
dine in a fine banquet hall
as rebel insurgents
plot in the attic space crawl
the guile and the treason
the faith and allegiance
now lie in my hand
