a tongue duel slowly the dishes recede

cheeks of dried roses an inflamed bladder

is today's bird tomorrow's today

if foliage stricken pull down a cloud

that's it in a comet dripping leaf

Andromeda's winter voice electric blue

keeping itself well hidden my kidney

from ear lobe to ear lobe a gate flung wide

leaving martyred boots to listen to a love call the unstable brain

the suggestion of an idea of her vague face disappears beneath a prayer

lift me by the snout, package says

customs item in a map fold the name of a horse ooppps rose eeckk shore 

a slight cough a soft tread and suddenly an ocean-roar

congealing on my mirror free format driftwood

this and that moon there again gone again rabbit eyes

after the football results the folding of a newspaper

in science class you learn about the human relationship to bread mold and go home and feel awkward looking at the loaf on the counter and under your breath mumble, bro, in a questioning way

full moon you me and our christian names

as such it doesn’t travel the ocean

unicorn hooves magic perfumes the cosmos

teary eyed from the wind

attached to nothing a butterfly's death

Rorschach ink blots rhapsody of albatrosses

touch of voice wrapped in ribbons and bows

hexagonal the sound of carbonated blues

fairytales a wanting poison

being a blooded chihuahua a poet measures the lion’s tooth
