is it a con
or simply
a Latin ‘with’
before a templ robbed
of its final vow(el)
which, if present,
would offer elation
but since e is absent
is it lation instead,
a state of milkiness,
or perhaps the templ
is with and in an ation,
a country without
consonant beginnings
that sound borders,
or maybe the openness
of the templat(e)
to unstitching
is simply a small part
of the meaning of
the (w)hole?
