By the mysterious functioning of some

By the mysterious functioning of some
figure of speech she's revealed. I read
between rhetoric and aesthetic a folding
of mirrored garments. She is the context

that gives the phrases and the sentences
meaning. I've divined the sacred sense
of the ridiculous secret that's disclosed
in subtle choreographies. The gross

epistemes, anecdotes and allusions
populate her songs. I am intoxicated
by similes, alliterative sequences

of sound. By the mysterious functioning
of some figure of thought she is known
in the confusing verse of every poet.
