things (again, or more things)

 

hands have known

     for instance

through weather

 

dog-eared, desperately edged

this that the other

   etceterings

hills over and far

 

irrepressible things come out in the wash

 

as

chattels of a codicil

shabby and patched, academic

 

shed cornered, things of darkness

I acknowledge 

 

of dust and fuss

worn by use past recognition

(having served purpose)

 

things gone bump

and in the act of vanish yet

neither here nor there

 

boxed up for voyage

 

fottfallen

crested for a resurrect

rub off

 

things Uri Geller bent

or merely posited by theory

 

not to be confused with the Cousins It

 

fussy things

and nag

further, further into strings

              keys

      deep in the hollows and drum

the latest (later remaindered)

 

family and national epithet collectors

               sometimes spangled

nor ever actually meant

       more in jest or advocating devils

 

thing colourless but true

glory the mending make shine

 

scratched at or over

underwritten

 

things to a tee

and afternoons thereof

 

fanciful, at a stretch

   such as I love

and needs must

 

nonsenses of whimsy lost

and things by heart as well

 

at end of tether

coin for a mirror to preen
