FATALITY FAMED THE ROOM

Fatality famed the room with its double going.

It turned like sequence: set, set, portent,

like sea in the sky’s fume, fumens et fumari.

I learned a little trick called me vince me.

Outside it was evening. Sky and its associates

continued singing. Storm never came.

We love the thunder with its voice,

loud hour, catalytic downpour,

opal-throat associates, vince bird.

Which actress was it played Athena

in the movie? Déesse of bright glances,

Athena Rossellini. She bears her robes

across the never-wetting waves, in the film

of shipwreck, straying, and final grace.

The myth of that system, fatality, turn,

like blood in the sea-spume, Clotho-vein,

red writ. The rétrouvé of the past-pulse, set—

Atropos Inexorable, bright slit.
