The Designer’s monuments under glass on a work table
Join again what custom strictly divided
A transformational force of rational feeling
Consolidation and innovation describes complexity
The falling scale associated with limestone and tears
A canopy of stars leads the long stare into oblivion
A programmatic recovery from illness
Impressive gravity unbounded flight follows inner stretch
“Must it be?” and “It must be!” “Lets get out of here...

Fused disparate power unreconciled knowing senses
Fatalistic resignation through improved chromes
Cut from everything precious in a drive through wreckage
Multiple formats far-reached revisions bouts of density
Blend of rations and senses process of critical reflection
A focus for the awe and devotion of many human beings
Visions of new strengths and then attainments
Rapt contemplation infused with a raw thumble
Arrests of anapaestic rhythm held in sonata form.

Human synthesis of perception the starry heavens
Sublimity experienced between phenomena and freedom
Emerges through the idea and pivots
Encounter with self come to grips with work
An open system promotes ethical frameworks as a guide
Projections of desire and goals yet to be achieved
Unfulfilled depictions of the sublime harbour ethical roars
Politics discussed as aesthetics through situations made in freedom
A defiant reconfrontation with strife-ridden memory.

Evocative judgements gale and melanchole in finale
Sketched to work out demands of contrapunctual passages
A synthesis between more than one life at once
More than mere beauty the shape of tenderness
joined exaltation and the commonplace in a polity
Seems to suspend flow of spacetime in phase transitions
Evocative of daylight of outward events
Expressed environment shaped contrasts beyond what is thought
Its own continuity tensioned before its confines.

Foreshortening drives sonata form and principles of thought
Flexible intensifications appropriated to the design
Sequences rise ecstatically into fall back and short breath
From today a new path to the hut
Uplifts of derivation transthemed in joy
Captures a repeated stress stimulates image
Strophe by strophe over a three decade fir forest
Immanent complementarity resolved or transformed
Common action based on agreement in the heat.

Sudden contrasts unexpected turns rides of strife
Interruptions characteristic coordinated with logic unfolds
Contemplation rejected in favour of stoical acceptances
Astonishing disjunction incredulous uplifts and down shifts
Severely dislocates structural recapitulation of spin
Superimposed tonic and dominant dissonance
Reconfrontation with open countryside in noise
Dissaffection contributes atmospheres of bleak melancholy
Telegraphic rhythms insert wrong chord just before cadence.

Severe contrast welds cadences pointing silence beyond
Narrative designed to elude reductionistic terms
To envisage wholeness before motifs and individual pictures
An analogous narrative progression to creative possibles
Weight contributes to the sense of openness
Collapse of analogy between music and narration
A principle of alternation modalities superceded and annulled
Interdependence of structure and expression confronts aesthetic 
                                                                                        dimensions
End without return in broken sonatas.

The Designer’s play of philosophical expression
Being Becoming merge as turbulent transparence
She works as a whole embraces numerous tremblings
Spacetime unfolds in teleological and immanent breaths
Emanation from unending activity of nature
Recovered as it enters into history and morality
She recognises herself ‘fills out’ implied existence
Naiveté and sentiment modifies through active intrusion
Immediate context an act of clairvoyance distantly serene.

She sublimates relations between images and fog
Sensuous basis for intellectual mediation
Problems ever within grasp confronted by transformation
An effigy of the ideal set against the adequate
Involves rejection of tyranny a sway of mercy
Narrative designs given presages of disrupt sequence
A bulwark of enduring meaning posited against transience
Human synthesis play drive conjuncted shape
The path from which no-one has never returned.

Central to the performance of doubt
Individual plants, their interactions with each other
And even their species composition of the community itself
Is the activity of mycorrhizal fungi, which are
Symbiotically associated to the memory function
With the roots of most land plants.
The loss of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi biodiversity
Decreases both plant diversity and ecosystem productivity
While increasing global instability.

She learnt in learning
Herself. That expression of sorrow
Forehead distorted by high thinking
And self discipline so ineffaceable
First sunny childhood
What can she say to sacrifice
All personal desires to obtain
Nobleness her life too easy
A well of water springing.

As she cannot become simple all her life
She extremes division immense destruction
She has joined exactly
In the position of the actions
Knows all the circumstances at a given moment
In her war that exact value
She knows precisely at the moment of employment
Changes that value just as it tests
Felt at a distance alone.

She telescopes her exposition with juxtapositions
Incongruous good natured capacity to get lost
She fevers outbursts of impatience in a cul-de-sac
There are no further puzzles beyond the opening engine
A surplus of constantly recoverable energy
When perception passed through infinity into gracefulness
Traps participator in present experience and passing time
My doctor she helped me, I could write no more
Her notes take me out of need for recitation.

Driving through wreckage she calls her homeland
The countryside agricultural cities
She burns through living trees burns against
Orange dark sky daytime air crash
Crust of earth break her shorn
In windless her müller bus
As eternity mirror gas trapped in the rebus pane.
Contempt for the world of isolation is not loneliness
Common ground for terror and ideology.

Helicopter taxis flight path from city to city
End to end connecting burn new routes
Past and future conceived in differing modes of now
A loneliness dependent upon others
Challenged in the face of natality and memory
I can’t contact what becomes the ethical
A posteriori the event of swallowing
Residence in a nonsubsumptive embrace
Presence from recitation. You can guess the rest.
