I love that it goes from "origin" to "debris".

The Hausa word for "passing away" is "wucewa" (woo-chay-wah).

Your poems are delivered with such a poker face. The only place you tip your hand is in the word "cry". That's amazing.

I have more a wondering than an analysis/interpretation in this case...

I can't imagine that you are unaware of the multiple [and divergent..even contradictory] meanings of many of the words you use here...

Particularly "flux" and "assay" which seem essential to the whole.

Yet, my impression is that you have serious antipathy towards aesthetics/criticism/theory that recognizes/examines/utilizes exactly those things you are demanding via those choices.

Explain!

Heh...enjoy away!

but I didn't mean they were used incorrectly...if I thought that I'd say "don't you own a fucking dictionary?"

Assay, for instance, among other things is "test" and "attempt" and those definitions are saying the same thing, or different [though overlapping, perhaps, if you Venn-diagrammed the definitions] things, so [in isolation, ignoring everything else]:
"that will pass away assay" [examine it, see what it is made of]
"that ................................... [test it, see what you could/can do with/against it.]
"that.....................................[attempt it, whether or not it will live/die/succeed, whether or not YOU will live/die/succeed]

you actually did something I've done a LOT [for god's sake, I've done something similar functionally, with the same freaking WORD...I just thought you hated that kind of thing!

"that will pass away assay"

i read the phrase and fell in love with it. want to hear someone sing the poem as a song just for that line.

most of my writing is to be read aloud. so sometimes the word may be "wrong" but the flow, the rhythm, the rhyme is correct and that wins out.

and many of the "poems" are meant as songs...

"swing, sway & trot" is a favorite line of mine that I wrote. the "ay" rhyme is very melodic :)
