Dominic, first email I opened today is your fab poem. Love "midge-monads
winking from the flux..." Leibniz is part of the pile of books beside my
bed.

SEEN IN FAILING LIGHT each solid thing
convenes a cloud of witnesses, midge-
monads winking from the flux; harbourers
of secret state, encapsulated worlds.
Admonish mystic tendency as nervous
self-projection, a burnt-in glitch
of our upbringing; wonder even so,
as if predestined. Clutching purchases,
return through coalescing eventide.
