fixed are our adornments

this sentimental silver braces

on & lodged in places signets

flesh to forged memory.

(what oft begets why~

& silence's daughter din.

could she who smelt as such

have tended ends as this

what word
was spelled in casting
what grammar 

in the etch~
how sensitive
to language
are the anvil & the lathe-

does pounding hammer pulse of shape

ring in you clearly still.

howmaker
truly know what she has wrought.
