My wife my car my colour and myself– there is always this measurement, his medium
in acsentia, chloroform
emetic parsimony an actual bird
absorbing the white shoulder
beak a century of protest
Look! This here abandoned
other decade,
subtracting quality from footnotes
riz then after silence, The Drunken Cricket Team 12:02 a.m. and the strata of interiors
coil temporarily as exceptions. Ridiculous!
& then appear Unsung, lids wide open
to be push’d aside.
I’ve heard one makes any & this time we fold
together like grass, the grass
leaving the region
of your respiration, the spatiality of another city: Maybe
he will turn up again, unpredicated like She said
I believe You now!
This time, however, we spent the afternoon in the gardens,
feeling like a landscape,
absolutely stuffed.
