VERNON FRAZER

Costume Ball in Costume

this time

past sense turned saber dance 

to quell the margins

whoever they are and the other

a largely swollen tension

slower glands 

yearning to shed a ranting toxin

align the shadow dancers

with chance interpretation a fact

revelatory subterfuge

at impasse with crescent shakers

remarked a lowered masque

no stasis intended

after their attention’s labored presence
