Anemochore- the dispersal of seeds by wind.
ascidium- shaped like a flask, used for plants in biology
locular- containing chambers or hollows.
funiculate-forming a narrow ridge
Glissade
perdure-to last permanently
They track solemn over darkling tarmac flatlands.
Locular houses aback, an anemochral procession over
Sticks and stones. No bones to break. Funiculate
their path with a slow glissade. Perdurance is not theirs.
The crows will have them from a height tomorrow.
Or else schoolboys with salt or dead rubber shoes.
Tonight they cavort, feelers out from the grass
The morning brings smears, splayed shell asphalt cast.
