After Magritte

In the egg’s armoire
Near the inner ear of the river
At the edge of coincidence
The titans of finesse

In the light of speech
Beside the phantoms of contemplation
Near the depths of love
The alphabet of delight

Before the madness of the storm
Nigh the storm’s lamp
In the brooding revelation
The hunters of affinities

With night’s election
The acrobats disarmed
The songs of objects
In the night of the night
