    not knowing but echoing mentor’s extant scheme
    neither pounce nor sweat nor becoming intentional
    the “that” in not knowing her agenda but make the writing clear
    would speak of the innovation of poetry
    anxious in the wings
    as if knowing might spark intimacy
    to bring release from knowable things
    of this world
    impermanence of the altostratus and such
    faint beads of sweat staining gossamer robes

    Decider wanted blood in cunning
    and the possibility of poetic emblem, rune, insignia
    a symbol—a device—a ruse—of power to hold a master language together
    A world domination, Decider thought
