Dialect of Cirrus

1 August 2012
a measure of the

dead. suppose I should


explain. hours spent sift-

ing the light, no al-


readys to drown. ‘a

bagpipe sings for two –


first for etch and shad-

ow, second, the drone,


in the dialect

of cirrus, for days


with blunt endings.’ is

there a season for


wonder? where sits the

god of golden means?
