4.1

Andrew Walshe 1986 (Toronto)

Free verse
Sharp minds
Knife handlers
Skilled smiths
Intent on gleaning
lit wicks immolating
Dharma’s deepest candle burns
bleeding
Fit bits spinning
Extrapolating
When mined we find
Plot twists mixed in with  
Stat shifts
The world, our words
Sphere spots
 data turns
Weathered patterns
Prequel urns
The other side of stressed exacerbating
