A list of some observation

A list of some observation. In a corner, it's warm.

A glance leaves an imprint on anything it's dwelt on.

Water is glass's most public form.

Man is more frightening than its skeleton.

A nowhere winter evening with wine. A black

porch resists an osier's stiff assaults.

Fixed on an elbow, the body bulks

like a glacier's debris, a moraine of sorts.

A millennium hence, they'll no doubt expose

a fossil bivalve propped behind this gauze

cloth, with the print of lips under the print of fringe,

mumbling "Good night" to a window hinge.

What is your favorite observation from the poem and why?
