Scalpel glitter—
Glitter of origin, sleep
Glitter of oily flag and dreck set alight
Smeared initial
Scaly fragment on boot-sole
Glitter of blue oil spark ignited in snowfall
Glitter of flint
Glitter of sniper-fire
Slab of stone chiseled with lost battalions
Glisten under rain with slick cab-light
Teak surface laden with
Stipendia and citations
Spindled jade striation
Magnitude of fractions and curvature, cuticle
Daubed metal
Silver mold slack as loosened hair
Recline in leather and arc
Ignite moist black tobacco, breathe out
