Psalm, make me sorry.

Nothing is unimportant. Neither the bray of birds nor their sweet afterplay.
Send for Fr Pierre.
He lives in harm’s way. “A transit of showdowns.”
After Pierre, a burst of daft tone substitutes for info.
Wait. There’s nothing left.

I lower my voice to closest saturnal parity
plucked out of my adversative brutality ..

Finalists like you quit general practice — off to your own privacy
with little or no honor left, one laughed. And yet not you, your honor...

Summer’s actuaries record having a good time as vicarious, no
moving figures. (Vicarious isn’t strong enough.)
Inner, outer merge in our honor system, no shadows,
o praise the light flow drawn in odor and hue! After you.
