long phantoms on short nights,
thine prayers have mine as full heirs
your destined woe
shaken-out
unveiled portions your
destiner must've ordered

Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve:
the break of day severs limbs and portions
that were caught inside the daylight minute
when spectres vanish at break of day
these limbs and
portions become
people (you & me)
alive in the daylight
there have been no true births in many years
I, the author of this portion (words), am working
on naming the portion of time when no true births
first started happening (circa U.S. Civil War, 1861 - 65)
