Twenty halves

Half a temple, half a market,
half a dais, half a golden target.

Half a hunter, half a myth,
half a hind, half a labyrinth.

Half a crescent, half a Cruyff turn,
half a whirligig, half a spectrum bloom.

Half a bill of claim, half a balm of pain,
half a corkscrew wit, half an elegant trip.

Half a secret tattoo, half a rainbow burst,
half a genuflection, half a beautiful curse.

A brazen fusing,
a random choosing.

A full infatuation,
a total intoxication.
