" title="Painted, spoken Peter McCarey
from A Syllabary
5.9.11
Awaiting the feared
Attack, something veered in the vote
A guppy shoal flicked right or left
In the coral. Weird in the heart
Populations of cells
Discharge their pulse and it does beat.
5.8.11
The body is veined
As though for a purpose
Though that purpose is veiled
As a hidden hand.
The hidden hand
With its veins of azure,
Veils of gesture.
5.8.9
If every move is wind or weathervane
It’s pick or choose.
If nothing is in vain why lift a finger?
The artery purports the vein regrets.
6.8.9
Those times that I wd feign regret
As if I cared
As if I didn’t care
