Vaast Bin--1 } 181: the supplanter / } that I was in this power / coxcomber, in the opening of the forest / a movement--in the arcing beams of starheadlights / serrating the indices of black night / O'd sepal parting struumm'd in tuenns / in the dark milk of axionic piors / the shutter thrusts open / seeping into the eyes of the bin / beings, tongue-trilled- / with all instruments denoted".
