Let's separate and recombine

Some things. Corning beef, tub of brine.

Cards intertwined with shuffling hands.

The wine-red glass and ocean sands.

Rubbery  peel and clementine.

Cubicle and the concubine.

The sign and conquered Constantine.

The 

die thrown and the way it lands.

Let's separate.

Lines dotted, dashed, and serpentine.

Thoughts bellicose and anodyne.

Pigtails and other twisted strands.

And even, sigh, my own fig stands

And timeless market Byzantine.

Let's separate.
