Abstract
Knees as a Sign of Wonder, and: Age of Pomegranates as Dream Tianyi (bio) Knees as a Sign of Wonder I I watched your throat melt until it was all sound, stood over your glass winter, the drapes lithe as light and my vigil close to crow// I swear, mountain, I heard knee before knell. II All the time, clovers all the time//spines. A driveway dies like the sun between our arms, and we called it Calgary//because nothing sat in the pickup truck trundling home, or in the help// which outlasts the life. It was iron//beyond you. The country of your neck//more than hungering. [End Page 89] III Weeks from when her body// would clam shut, she reached for a candle, and crushed it into her temple// Open,she asked the Silence. Gun,it echoed back. [End Page 90] Age of Pomegranates as Dream 零. I have existedtowards a questionlike needle to desire 一. Good Soup is clear and robustwinter melon dissolved with ribsserved beside wild cress in broth,a recipe from the mountains. When the home wintered,the surest thing was soupmade in stone, like dead pelt,or my dad's uncut beard. 二. It was darker than cravingbetween her need for me andmy need for ears. No mistake, it was a weathering.She shoveled wounds out a cradleI offered pliers, she said: breath. Out the midafternoon breastof desert, the lonesome distantas language, is hired by the lonesome. [End Page 91] 三. Before Magome-juku There was a cairn for a ronin "Pathseeker, had you become snow, were you still swinging in the cold?" There was a cairn for a monk "Teacher, look! the universe is maddening—" I stretched my tongue over bonesfor wisdom as ornament, Ah—I am so ashamed,speaking to no one. 四. The dream involved my spreading bloodover a great stag and my ever failing to kiss it. I send canoe-shaped letters to space—they return as crows, not shy of any god. 五. A lake is proven by a sleeping poet—I know because lakes are roundlike a face, and have one expressionlike a dead face. [End Page 92] 六. Age of Pomegranates as Dream Now I take my shoes off for them.Now I gather buckets of fireflies. We are at the age of pomegranates,when people begin to die. Unwalking from each philosophicalposition for a seat at the pianos. Those that are pitched and off tuneI tend and tune. Those that are already inside-outI give verbs like plead. Within the sound of rainor dread, a future unreachable by mouth soaks in the sun,I confess it is sweet. [End Page 93] Tianyi Tianyi is a poet based in New York, from Hong Kong. His work can be found in the Margins, Tupelo Quarterly, and elsewhere. He is an alumnus of the Brooklyn Poets Mentorship Program. Copyright © 2024 Middlebury College

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
