"recondite" (mini-sonnet)

Every night
    the world again
        turns dark

    and only
        you behind
            the world


resting in an
    ungloomled
        redoubt one

    hardly knows
        to picture --
            much too


recondite
    for thought (so
        smart about

    our places &
        geographies) --
            you remain


they say right
    where
        you are

[There, now I've shown one "micro-sonnet" and one "mini-sonnet." This could suffice, though perhaps it'll prove meet to repeat these forms some bit -- to give a fuller sense of their particular uses.]

likum this. Need to read your older posts for form-speak...

who said, that why go into the woods and deep jungle seeking the truth..

that while you were out, the elephant is at home quietly sleeping?

that.

I like it. Much peace you bring at night.
