What is a breadth good for without a diagram?
I at last I make use of my hands
A breadth to show me from beginning to end your flesh paths
I had at last found my diagram
Even though the voyage had yet to become a pursuit
My vessel was left without a float
Burst of air of, breeze without a mask
Wedged in only imagining gliding across your work of art
And soon the diagram was clear of stamp as if it was merely an figment my imagination
I saw what may perhaps be…what may possibly been.
Nevertheless so smoothly you slithered from beginning to end my grasp.
I had created abreadth…but only a diagram
I will one day find my gold diagram that will let me pursue
Its voyage for time without end.
