Patron Saint of the (runofthe) Mill.

I have been finding letters
in the long languorous lines
left by the drips of paint
performing their tragic
comet trail before the altar of gravity
as they consume their own vitality
and I wonder how much this means
that I see the letters
and how the weight of itself has made them
run
what does my own mass compel
and in compelling burn
through this wax effigy of a frame
till I cry the end the end
and am done.

Perhaps they will find these letters
and watch the wax drops run.
