A Choka is a Littoral Drift
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
Of time, the interstitial –
of resisting, a soft wait
of normal things, amusement
the glassy voice here
feelings like a treble hook
to seat, bit of daub
feelings normative
like opening decisions
paving and stone-boiled
in this tide mill and foundry
each a cold moveable stage
and dimension stone
