weird burden of a penny

across

the accidental heat atop a cabinet
when heads stick together
spy and measure
a spot, maybe a drop, pellets
a circle of periods
without a rope without fiber
ill-suited by the weather
a fresh occurrence

down

where a black velvet record played
rare languages of a man's startled heart
work-work work-work work-work

answers

made sharp
cohere
alone
seal
