He is condemned a stranger
who knows not to answer 
the glare of aching sunlight
obscuring the sign sought
in sea breeze lifting
across the cynic’s laughter. The first stanza here has me roped in, I'm not sure 'the sign sought'

He offers no denial to the curious
words uttered to be spurned
damned to sessile delight
in a reply so readily despised,
an unchained intelligence
clawed back to the diligent. Is it sessile delight? I looked up sessile, it's a pretty cool word, use of punctuation at all makes me want either more or less, the first block up there might have used a comma here or there, maybe you don't need the comma in this block here

Born in an instant’s reconnaissance
unmade by flight and derailed 
into angles of restlessness
sheltered in the sight seen,
outline of an ego that speaks
to a hero’s empty space. Unmade by flight I don't quite understand.  If this is a sentence, I don't know what the subject is, the outline? Maybe you don't need the comma.

I loved the book the stranger and I love this poem just thinking about it, this is your reply, maybe not to the book, ...  I get caught up in all the big words, don't have much to say but I look forward to seeing where this goes
