Relic Environments Trilogy: Book I, Part 1.i

from Book I, Part 1, Mystery Tramp Eclogues

Syncopation 

The archbishop warned Il Giornale
Avert your gaze
The mirror must be covered, or risk believing
The images it contains are true  


The membrane writhed, distorted where the verses
Pressed forward


Wrangling through silver, the burst sacs
Pooling in the carpet spirals


A wobbly first-step, cautious, then
Quicker as the page was turned
