Pacemaker


Time-unfurling strides of demanding metronomy.
Equilibrium maintained by haunted footsteps.
Design foregone and progress honouring
ilium and femur, semitendinosi and biceps.

Continuity embraces that pacemaker,
this waiting evening. Histories need sprinters
as much as crepuscularities admire dealbreakers.
Endings and beginnings require summers and winters.

Measurelessness measured. A forever-restored parity.
A stasis, proliferating constantly. A watch to value.
Temperateness gives him to temporality in integrality,
presents innumerable personae embodied now by statues,

statues, by now, embodied personae. Innumerable presents.
Integrality in temporality, to him, gives temperateness
value. To watch a constantly proliferating stasis.
A parity restored, forever. A measured measurelessness.

Winters and summers require beginnings and endings.
Dealbreakers admire crepuscularities
as much as sprinters need histories. Evening,
waiting, this pacemaker that embraces continuity.

Biceps and semitendinosi, femur and ilium,
honouring progress and foregone design.
Footsteps haunted by maintained equilibrium.
Metronomy, demanding of strides, unfurling time.
