Spadille by Carole Anzolletti

Ace of spades Rococo patience artist Josef Maria Melchior Annen
Crushing, crushed, quiet
Tangles of thoughts
in a riot
Only on paper
the voluptuous vapor
can settle down
from the cliffs
Disjointed, appointed, illusion
does little to
settle brittle confusion
only on white
does the gray
meet its fright
day becomes night
Appalling, demented terrain
voices gone silent
then loud again
a true orchestration
of elderly citation
across the shore
return never more
