.
When Death frowns from a heavy sky,
the importance of molecules is inverted.
You inhale the stealth of magnetic aether
and quantum intimations. Alas, alas, the coils.

Here's Mark with one of his quatrains for us to puzzle out.
I've read this a number of times and get this feeling of archaic language mixed with the wildest scientific speculation that is in line with a persistent human fear.
Alas alas the coil, of course caused me to google the Shakespeare quote:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_coil
Alas alas the very air we breathe in this modern world.

I like this Mark. When faced with the 'spectre', minutes and seconds become kings.
Catching the smell of an impending 'storm'...small hints. Nice writing.
Still can't enjoy the 'alases' though.

New sprouts in the turnip patch!!
A frowning death downs the up quarks,
ups the down quarks, flushes magnetic infinity
from the flux, finally, unpacks coils in the engine
of your stealth cycle, cycling into a heavy sky.
I'm getting too old for this.
And yes, welcome back Mark.

Aah yes, turnip-speak.
Good quad there, Ty.

Mark, I feel I'm not smart enough for your poems...
