As Once
Circumshift.
As once a dry-flown habitat of letters spawned by integers.
My heart. Is
in. This cloak of tether close to crumbed alongside pallor.
Climbing
down and toward the adages. Complaints give gloves their test
of spade
work in the livery. As one is in a thrall as purpose is.
Proposed as
semblance mildly cursive. Patched into a home. These three
soon read to
me. Curricular undress alongside full commotion. Who
protests.
The church is flocked. Intrepid under lock and key. Some clone
tippy as the
furlong is a patterned long-term taste of glee. The rumba
can't afford
you more than once. A swan continues centralizing evening
into rapid
motion. Paced strung flinging salt away. As hype is active
when the
Salk vaccine is stung.
My query
lands upon your softer shoulder, when the incumbency collapses
Beneath
Detect
defection modestly beneath gray corollary to the wash of
sunshine.
Magna carta speed of light's conjunctive lumen sponges off
effete new
syllogistic symptoms. Among the forebears were the latchkey
closures.
Pounced-upon as mirth accepts seeds for the order's good. As
summer
steams the rigor out of staunch arrivals mentioned only once.
Amid the
parity involved in gravitas. Eternity's in motion like the
silhouette
beside the tree that echoes vaudevillian pretext. Sumatra
clamors to
the tune of stillness. As in pond and as in ruminatra. A will
to clash
with silver perjured or the following lawn-covered afternoon's
adjacency.
And then some faultline stammers near the set point of
divisibility.
Enough moist sunshine, and the crosswords will be easy to
have
solved.
His major
topic was his mother, and his minor one, technology
Joy
In answer
to the mockingbirds
I texture
atmosphere with Beverly with-
In it
Worth
seeing entirely
No one
says cut and I agree
To improvise
The
succulents in the great blue bowl
From Sherri
Stay within
the bowl
Thereby they
broom the otherwise plain air
Is there
anything but being
Here the
stakes evenly split
Between
having already
Admitted and
discovering
That
everything is equally
Likely and
improbable
On Sunlight
Emotions
live the lives of nouns, semi-detached. I drive and drive. The
evening
lifts me out of crises that belong. I see the place my window
used to be.
A rider on sunlight. She drank to make the drab less taupe
while it
continued failing to break away. How many ounces will the
salmon be.
I'm swamped, but just a little. One hint at a time. I'm
taking all
this down in my Mead marbled notebook, black and white. You'd
have to know
my sister, how she looked in gray. The restaurant is full
of people
who declare or murmur to their dining partners that they're
missing
something.
Use the
words "change the environment," and "my entire
life" as
preludes to
the message of sensation
Toys Fed
Whole
tirade forced against the clock toys fed by water's torsion latent
in neglect.
The clock skin termed replete yet furnished. To the tune of
Latvian
injunction. Creche twinned to the reed intoned. Cool blasphemy
allowing
correspondence over in the till. Proceed during the time point
bristle
after bushel of despair for now unheralded repair. Then soho
practiced
proclamation in the foreground. Pried out of the altar finally
intact. She
leagued as one preliminary note. As fact solidified clear
coated
viaduct gives passage fact. A suitcase has been whole with filth
to spare. In
journals coveted impairments clog the level risk offered to
thumbpoints.
Cache is white as flukes. To wear.
As proof
of silhouettes a background less than whit
