Reasonable Doubt
Reasonable Doubt:
Frequency scrambled-
the output necessary,
the input arrives
like a charcoal canary
on a cold wet Winter’s day
The enjambed dawn is
a metameric failure
of pearly chaos
These visions of God’s glory
will never be my tungsten
or a lone paraboloid
The wrinkled lines fall
into a hazy Summer
The quiet burns me
and renders regret anew
These values feel silent now

the input arrives
like a charcoal canary
