FEB

 

 

an idle thistle rears prelapsarian hock

as fertile as charlock during oilyiron age

 

when bog people came twelve hours

before executions by the devil thong

 

the intransigent network tendril and wry foot

notes clunging sound a high compare

 

we gradually portion out with vacua

we connect plenum to give straight

 

it does not terminal back the radius

assumption against the current cupola

 

since eleusis carries off a virgin in her

pomegranate proton bag that lays

 

at her feet to epitomize the inconstant

visual visits we endure her thunder ascension

 

when it seems to be bigger than continuum

than mechanism intervention i thank god

 

for the snipper he cut his own subject

swift to hold a bayleaf correspondence

 

murrillo almost about to forage polliwogs

and ingest a stranger denomination

 

edible pith and neolith rites with two dandelion

heads saxifrage the rebuttal about the will

 

todo both the rotation on parallel remain

i fix who can do remembrance if we are indivisible

 

we demovance mathstract processes begun

by theophrastus even after he collapses

 

during a magical belief when questioned

by hebrew text him inaudible in proportion

 

to her total why constellation with

phenomena we combine codex

 

vindobonensis from the sixth courage

in feudal 1939 gouache and 1921 canvas

 

under tumulus they bury renaissance

the lingo culture follows her lead her color

 

we dissolve in polish the vine hedge

the see and papyrus grass in jars

 

barnnabus the duck has his throat cut

held by a cup to catch gravy bleed

 

a flychaser three years before vermiform

shapes motivation we long for themes

 

future striment view cherchant en travaillant

the traditional dioscorides source findle

 

we scatter hail into the gap that weedy

unknown origin a poison or a cure legacy

 

falls from rural ecological turf and the result

we consider particles which carry testimony

 

prayers like fashion models inside the tuck swell

the hoary porcupine brushes up and down

 

normality punts the tin teeth until they flake

like mica on indigo lava face masks

 

cased in sponge the pockmarks squirt

tall smoke rings from his cigar hang

 

off his lip a hink barb wire fence thick

with nail polish rebuke to better back

 

the gash flight and monotonic cowards 

abandon the salvage lapis in magnesia

 

redefine and structure skin whipped

to a fluff by hierarchical horni feet

close to vivid diminuendo lotteries

 

residue from his last supper

an apathy the meridian can no longer

interrupt a mutt red eak they eak home

and shuck their mosaic insult

 

mothers wrapped in flower cloth

carried like a pap test into a placental

coracle he uses two sticks to pluck

weedy distain for one pace forward

 

the nucleus of fire leaks and we smuggle

the height to herd our minds

 

to cordon off our ocean loods

 

the mayryethistle crotch open

 

loosen the tectonic itch scratch

we run an accelerate overlap

the little bush wait worn out

by the seep from our past

 

our counterfeit clamb pit

she dare not walk over backward

before she drowns the cleat iron

upside monday blueberries

 

sheep trails the firmament plink

ground where it levels shimpering

dogs blur the braid loosens until

they too hang the last redouble

 

divinity it regenerates

middens two feet a year

the human frag bind in bunch

rabbit brought by picasso

 

a few dry figs the priest chews

his testament and roach hold

 

maybe the true tongue we credit

and dismood the friendly ire pine

 

call it one fur slope or scale free act

patterns an aperiodic body

when it spits out excitation

the noise even cocklebur pieces

 

are more than backhand slaps

he wrote a program bioariv dot org

 

for arousal the regular density driven

by consume tool gatherings

 

predictional balance the canhen link

predics when sumbereni gum keys layspeak

 

such lapses remedied his progress

two leaps ever since 1917 miro heard

 

his romp from the spirit to change

comes all at once a curvilinearism

 

grander prosperity an original obligatory

tour of the crackle pantiles the house

 

ravels our hopeless salvage

i keep in a glass malachite aureole

 

sheath down each pleat tipstick

trap the sheen in a blue miscreant

 

dampens heets gas the perish residue

sensation and tideline evolves with twine

 

a stem hawser hedge the devil guts

have hewn have begun to conquer

 

his stud nolens book profundities

now forgotten the bitter bordumb

 

except the thunderhead yelp from dung

nat halloo net withing herself an owl

 

from an outpost a miraculous remission

no long summons or the call of a flock

 

pear woodeve who has a backstair case 

think about warts and water pipits
