When your chronicle accesses
the correct word,
it brings an unseen adhesive.
Or its design is doomed
to be a stopgap deliverable.
One can take it forward and add
people, postures, or placements.

A few withdraw from view,
yet remain allied
by an invisible connection.
It is true of the leitmotif.
Emotions possess ephemeral
affirmations or the firmness
never to let go of the wiring.
