Locket

Like a locket
image catched
under dapping
and filigree

motions the same sun
foreground a face
with bonnet
profile pose of

noblesse statues.
The counterlight
and overflow.
The panel shuts.

Every kindling
of this fireplace
knolls of romanced sagas
, their weddings

At Troldhaugen.
You are Plymouth,
Nina, Pinta, 

What time is no problem.
This coin flips one-sided
Numbers and a numisma

1490, 1560, 1860?, 1920


When the chamber
strings go back to
the capo

Where by no year.
Time logs 

one already happened,

everything might as well

be zero. 

All the faces are characters,

types and pronouns.

This day's work and story

like a novel full of noteworthy 

people with names not provided.
