Sixth Month & Late Evening
In the name
Of good shepherding
The market took a dive today—
Sixth month & late evening
Eight strands continue to gaze
Pleiades vaults across zero
Zero sojourns across Pisces
Watchful of desire
Yet sky
A record is kept
In secret
On fire
Deciding intelligence
In common
If essence
Is upheaval
Then dada’s a loan
Ogled wharf pain
Red kite situations
Hitch up beyond
Lifted
& craving
“the gaps &absences it sometimes precipitates”
“the gaps”
I write renegades on napkins
No further west of April’s gone mad again
Then snow plows
& half bridges to lunacy
Gauge missing child hit by falling violin
Terrible boxcars jut from his ribcage
A gorge in the west of him
Exhibits art as a sky box or basis for cliff notes
Evening’s harmonious crow’s nest
Nearly softly a book store
Skids like maestro to parting ways
“&absences”
So ample
Is scimitar
Mitred
At cross
Walks
Distance
Is tactical
*
On top
Olde circuitry
Vacant
As torpor
Tumblings
Of torpor
Tumbling
Come
*
At one
Of its hours
Its voice
A circumstance
A pine
In lagoons
Reminds us
Their tale
“it”
The fences are shadows
Move slowly across
The fields (the &
They)
Push against victims
Painting the news
“sometimes”
While watching
The watchers
Digitally watch back
A cereal box
Is consumed—
Enters
On one good
Leg
One wooden
Stump
A shipwreck
Alas!
Harbors fantastic
Modes
In two scoops
Of wondering
What is the meaning
Imagined
Out of sequence?
Or [ ]
Until vivid?
“precipitates”
& out there beyond hope
& infinite ruin
One’s shame of the brother whom
The apple so clean etc etc
Writes bibles entirely a nomad
A typo walled
Between similes
A NOTE
A VENT
Surrealist as FRIDGE
Straits’ emphatic UGLY BOOT
(banked by progeny & infinite ruin)
Repositions containment
Gambols uncertain randomness
Thickets of twill eves
Cull stasis to zero
