word has a word for what
was it, i think, a state
of congressional turmoil,
or a crumbling of faith:
a word to describe the
most solid fate, its
faltering grip, its slow
fallen face. if
word has a word with
what was it, its slave,
its progeny discolored
as they leap off to fade-
this word is a word that’s
sure to be minced, fallen
like lines
written through mist.
