sheltered and broken
like the sunrise dank
in a dray tombs break
lay across the dusted din
of echoes seizure
tumbling in its fault
the wavelength wrought
a brilliance blue
of argon and ague
stretching with its
residual residency
the steps unsteady
loop steps
a jagged lace
the ice thinned
and hungry
wind shied
and espied
beneath the oval
of the eyes
shackled in need
bled haste
a greed
the circling
steps go round
and round
an animal
glut culled fat
slow speed
and intern
wishes
sped fast
and low
cast shadows
soft
tender
and wise
unfold the hinge pins
the unbuttoning
like a storm of summer
near and large
the pearl disc
and hoop draped
drawn
aside the aisle of
spine
stepped fleeting
unfolding
brewing
velvet chaste
a spirit
wonder
readied
in the race

'Dank'
I know where that word was used recently!
As usual, you old magpie, you recycled it and made the line your own...'dank in a dray tombs break'...(a good scottish word dray is too!)...that line trips off my tongue in a way almost sexual.
Ahem...as usual, a soundscape that washes over my senses. Lovely.
Ells :)

bled haste
i think your poetry is very descriptive of certain images coagulating into condensing run on
