Ephram Pratt Extols a Verdigris Patina
by Jack e Lorts

Growing in unison
with time,

carrying filaments
of desire

no one understands,
like killing small mountains,

burying old glass bottles,
currying favor with

divided loyalties,
held close to

prying eyes,
a voice no one knows.

Place that voice
in a silent wicker basket,

let it reign
over impacted

intervals of time,
like soft candles,

winnowing a verdigris
patina,

extrapolated into
divided bell shades.
