could not know your dazzle
in all its power
a brilliance from inside
that dark center
otherwise
stark gaze gleams
translucent
keen as naked eye
now turned to
optimal reader decrypting
your dapper torso dressed
in pixelated patterns of
clean houndstooth
so there is no place
beyond this checkered grid
formation of abstract marks
bound within all the borders
of yourself
