One, 1, None (Ninth Draft)

Geof Huth, "Shapeshifter Text" (13-14 March 2018)
See a seen.A shape inviolate
of wonder often has possi
bilities unthought.Numbers expressed arean orb extended. Raysrecall an orchestral set. The musiciancan do whatnot, exploringmusic.

To restrict—district—them, a scatteredcantata, a tested symbology,two beautiful songbirds are wrapped,caged, &
freed, released toextension, allowedroom, extrapolating that value encompassed via
motions, thoughts, a simple cusp,
intent of accident,stasis in
glorious manifests,englobing, arousing, merged in, entirely
one. That becoming, anocean via duct:to 3, 4—counted,
adding reality, intention, removing it, asubtlety.

Relative I be, relative werenumerals: 9, 8, 7. Foreverwere these
to encroach from 1

a resistant sea, ecstatic sways,to a 1.
Waves, waves, waves,undulants, silver that must alwaysbe as blackened
suns, constant, radiating, cooled,thus penumbral and

After a four-year gap (always forgetting to write on Pi Day), I continue my piem, adding an entire page to the as-yet five-page poem. A piem is a difficult form, one in which every word must follow in sequence the sequence of numerals after the decimal point in pi, so that every word has the number of letters as the value of the numeral it represents. I make linebreaks where I wish, but I break strophes always at the zero. Not sure I will ever finish this poem, but here are the results so far.
