VIII. L’Ombrelle

VIII. L’Ombrelle

Underlined thrice in purple ink, and now plunging before a stripe

Of black linoleum—The mind’s velvet jet turned on a turret lathe

The impressing need to forget—Sea quills and sea pens, octocorals, of coal
Beds, where overhead mussels raked off a hull precipitate L-DOPA

In anchor threads past blood barriers, oxidizing enzymes to striated terminals
Laved in the liquor of coke, the umbrella’s waterproofing, mauve

Gloves that were molded to his hands—With the ordered glucose, mauve’s

Blue shifted absorption opposing a locked 8-member photopigment, rods’ raised stripes

Of darkness, a protonated Schiff base linkage to a Lysine-296 focus of terminal

Helix 7—Prosthetic 11-cis-retinal pitching its unsaturated chain to the prickly lathe

Of sunlight—Siemen’s blue-water gas putting more of the 8 percent tar distillate of coal
To fractionation as corralled reassortant viruses, their nerve endings’ halation of L-DOPA—

Under the large gas fire’s white-hot coralline elements, a bowl’s metabolites of L-DOPA

Imitate the black of melanoma’s disclosed coloring—Perkin’s failed fever bark is the mauve 

Decade of Les fleurs du mal (1857); damned hothouse flowers, filed alongside IG Farben’s stripe—

A scribe, Enoch, on trolled ship captains, Hugo Schiff’s synthetic hemlock, coniine (1871)—Anthracite coal’s

Alizarin (1868)—Verneuil’s flame fusion of rubies (1893) achieved their terminal

Appellation as abrasives of Springfield periscopes, Luger trench brooms whittled on lathes—

Siege towers of the mind—Hoffman’s fuchsin (1858) with three phenyl rings aligned as a lathe

Turning piece, or eight-inch diameter Livens tubes frozen along the Western front—L-DOPA

Forming a Schiff base with B6 coenzyme, rather than discharging the brain from its terminal

Shell—Schiff tips fuchsin, a foxfire rose of aniline coal tar, and decolorizes—Losing its mauve

In saturated sulfur dioxide (1897), it reemerges with bound flesh aldehydes or hydrolyzed double stripes
Of DNA—Madame Swann’s mauve dress or parasol (1913) are mineralized fossils decanted from coal

Tar—Paul Ehrlich’s acid-fast tuberculin test (1882) of corrugated lungs, of trenches of former coal

Miners, and subsequent refinement of aniline derivatives—The bacilli’s mycolic coat turned on lathes

Of hot and cold chemical peels—Etheric cordite making them prone to fits; wadding it with striped

Hands, stiffened munitions operatives whose sputum no one bothers to scan—L-DOPA’s

Coupling with 7-transmembrane dopamine-1 receptors flowing in the layer—A terminal

Disorder of irretrievably tangled field phone wires—The Lost Battalion’s carrier shot beyond the mauve,

Sunlit road parallel 276.4—Böll’s frog eyes in slow bleaching gaslight, their camouflage netting—Mauve;
Frilled oral arms, where Sehrpurpur rises and falls soundlessly … in this ocean of noise—Coal-tar

Dyes distorting all-trans bonds in the eight cardinal directions of the gaze, of Lucretius’s interminable
Asides; every eight and a half lines—The hyperpolarized rod of night’s disarmed combatants of one lathe

Accident abridged by Mind as the substrate forms a Schiff base to the enzyme, in the eye’s striped

Phalanstery—In mottled Phalaenopsis, the first node on the main spike stem buds listless L-DOPA

Shocks by ice cube watering; possibly, the mauve climate grottoing under the bed—L-DOPA

Recaptures a lunar roving vehicle's umbrellas, nets, harpoons and magnets; coal shadows, yet in the striped

Transmission of a nevertheless foldaway high-gain antenna, my hands reach for the terminal lathe turnings of your body.
