Sumblimation of a rusty chain.

Iron-wrought links, plain ellipses
that sweeping course of a planet or the androgynous binary star
Latter link's boomerang swoop, awkward embrace of two links
scoups a rust peck in, penetrates its mistress's omega
An arm's length--this chain is lumped
sized as in one's palm upon paint-spattered newspaper square
A painter's eyes knows the course from wetting of bristles
to reconaissant leer over chain lump
into the recondite pinky promise of the chain
To begin before ending is a fine form of hinging,
he says, final brushstroke
