amid pentagrams
satelliting my mind
an outward location
of an ostentation
that lids a voyeuristic eye
to Da Vinci’ fingers in a jar
waiting anxiously for them
to move, perform an ******
panache of evocative art
but they are congealed
in a stalactite shiver
that lacks transmitted urgency
but contact with these
enigmatic digits causes
a correspondingly delayed
then urgently convulsive frenzy
that somewhere in time
bring frictional contact
with a canvas or a ceiling
Da Vinci’ fingers in a jar
an outward location
of unclasped curiosity
