pain’s double consequence

across the palm crawling crosses

then the pencil writes history emptying

out heroes’ emptiness possibly full

strains of virus

the virtuous people laugh

about reaching the bottom

a voice with clicking sounds

the anti-virus is behind all this

also a gaseous atmosphere

implodes a delicate surface

may rescue us

the savior stood in front of the table explaining attachments

leaches &

diamond stick pins designating

the arrangements

of flora and fauna standing in

a row the leaves are weapons

changes in breeding orange poppies magic

numbers the trucks

numbered yellow

the yard signs momentum is disingenuous

drowning in mercy along the way

unless it is for a vaulted sky

on her bare

shoulders the silver bag

covers her face(s)

with the last attack she only

felt her socks sagging they were all

lapsed & didn’t think about another fabric

in the background

music & thin mail arrived

a flurry of word arrangements among

the gingerly flakes diamond mines

ceased production

in the dunes lovers lie awake

in stormy weather salty dogs washed

overboard the name biscuit

logic emphasizes difference

downward spirals

in the art gallery

we gazed at virtual red those devoted

to catholicism ate bloody orbs

she wore emeralds on her finger

cemented on crept into her every devotion

water on porcelain a gauzy wind of sparrows

most odds & ends swept aside the crux

of the problem too many counted as saved

or recycled an odd elbow a crook in the knee

dust under the bed

justice served

world without end

dinner flew too

fast & I couldn’t sleep

I couldn’t control the character

an egg for breakfast was

an oval ( )

from a chicken

I found her in a tree

her outward energy

with her awkward feathers

without meeting her angels

she lives her truths

& levitates

within her small brain

she swallows the hour

made out of china

the oval is perfectly in tune

instant bees fungi bone

the science of sleep caffeine

of nettles

a ribbon of headaches

my skin feels petulant

heathen

spoken by _______

18th century science subdued

random paths lead to mountain & ocean

chase the absurd poetry is

an empty stage

I speak

nonsense benign the night

what am I plant animal

distance amalgamated milk

& steel 3-D insects

zero of the arrow seed plots

landed monarchs stained chance
