Work of Fathers

What does chainwork say about these our Gods?

Does worship retain a plural? Are ropes of believe in me covering

less ground and trailways? What would it be as thread,
can parabola, or splinter of narrative coupling and penetrating

with a character arc make a difference in the winding
smoke and updraft of stories nee prayer long neglected?

What is the aboutness of chain implied by the cracks

in brick and stone, block and rock, our walls and fences?

Does it tell a prayer of load bearing desire? of forged Stocks
holding Persephone's long wait. How will a wall of block
wait for the chain? The raw stances holding our parts in desire aware?

Emerson's iron strand is a chain. Not moving up the via

not moving down the interdicts, but straining left and right.
Moving to host and stem, pared and loosened rindedness of want(ing).

Simple sweeps of stress moving steppes of not enough up nor down
linked top to ground as a question is presented by the nude

and fully human sensation of desire bidden hither and come.
