Ekphrasis No. 1

The meniscus
      Wabbles, absorbs,
Inures. . . .  A last-gasp
      Bubble breaks

Face, explodes a
      Gaseous vibration o’
It. The
      Mercurial element

Distinguishes it-
      Self from noxious
Oxides, phlegm &
      Blood.  Shock

Startles intuition. . . . 
      The novitiate
Ends—
      Reagent exemplar.
