Wordplay
of the palate’s pigment,
the shade of the flavor;
of the palette’s figment,
the mind of the painter.
of the bulb’s ligament,
that holds together light;
of the bone’s filament,
that wires the flux of life.
of the blackish vertex,
the peak of the sombre;
of the brackish vortex,
the eddy of the salt.
of the north pole’s glazier,
the soul through the ice;
of the window’s glacier,
the cold zone of the eyes.
of the proximity
of that word on my tongue;
of the proxility
that is still yet to come.
of anything more than this.
of anything more likely than not.

This is brilliant.
Very nicely crafted here.
I like the verse.

“of the bulb’s ligament,
that holds together light;
of the bone’s filament,
that wires the flux of life.”
