Fraction's Head

Fraction’s head an architect
foot an engineer — together
marvel & rigor inflect
structure & shape, flutter
of Sydney’s wings, slope
of pyramids bricked on sand
rising from fathoms deep
where slaves & pharaohs end.

What survives defies intent
relies on ever changing tides
a swallow’s path, extent
of maps ells & cubits wider
than Mercator’s fringe, dark
swell buffets of optimism
bartered against stark
ignorance — cataclysm.
