Your Enduringness, That Sometimes

Your enduringness, that sometimes
shudders several sleepers at once
but continues to remove itself
imperiously to cortex corners
has nothing to return to
though having navigated trysts
successfully is a rumor
even the waking skeptic
is excluded from

We are now on a willow islet
Hammock and honey
eighty years later

We are now on a willow islet
amidst the quietest like
murder from expressed emotion

Impregnable and myriad
without a single allusion

stranded in the billions
outside a forehead plus window

ovations of accidents becoming
obvious unto yourself
to know me

The lines

"We are now on a willow islet amidst the quietest"

and

"Hammock and honey: eighty years later"

are the beginnings lines of chapters from Nabakov's "Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle". Flipped to these chapters randomly.
