Does trapezius' hollow drain along the clavicle trench

We can admit, we don't remember how the bath's abdominal displacement framed the water with parentheses, but pooled somewhat more randomly at the sternum of which we've heard. Residual dapples at the throat or at the breast, innocuously scattered distributions, were on their own to find a likely channel or evaporate without remark. Siblings and spouses, parents and friends, classmates and cousins don't remember - and they'd like to, it would seem fitting - as all now mark the long-lost instant when they could have seized that one impartial fact they might contribute from their store of secret trifles. Does trapezius' hollow drain along the clavicle trench, or flush the breathy pillow as it sinks.

       

          Solid things dissolve,

          and vapours ape

          substantiality.

          You sensed him near you

          just now, but that's

          more like a nettle to

          the touch; and on your

          left Joe Donkin walked,

          where only weeds stir 

          to the night-gusts if

          you feel with your hand.
