“ Staggering”...

” Staggering “

Staggering virtuosity
hundreds of pieces
beneath cardboard sheets

like initial encounterings
of recurrent life-size themes
still being practiced here

like secret societies
embodied in mirrors
of errant societies

made up from vegetable peelings
suggesting embossing and embroidery
while forming foundational stories

passed down orally in all
their former glory as allegorical
cross-cultural adornments...
