As/Is

Tropology

By turns away and toward
Call it a tonic and a day
Light stems cells abroad

As is night
As is phrase
As is bird's eye

Frequencies shutter iris
Stamen center pistols
Killing the rhetoric fore
Aft on the pointed bow
Towards what end is said

And thus repeat endlessly
A servant in love returns
Looks away looks away looks
