Do intellectual accomplishments
of the aficionado matter?
Or, is a reader a reader?
The venation prods me
to believe pathways unfurl.
Steer is to repurpose love and its lure.
The coziness of a cannonball is
associated with before my time.
Disused emotions serve their scope.
Essence relocates to craftship.
