kervinen and ganick / a tourniquet for each memory

weepy carnivals of anorexia kiss p-who hid does go-getter so clannish,
a budding diorama tells the pancreas of its cubed slake,
the delivery of y-one ere rust, diacritic, virility and war armrest,

the brunettes weep, singeing calmness, fat-violinists gyp n yip in agog stillness,
sunblock cawls rewrote the damnable hack, a wooer convinces to be-z,
maw says, "yea cyst amaryllis! it's only jingoism" while peg scuffles to the turnover,
rolling cigarettes, so nosey and shabbily, bespeaks of what a nun can weld out of a loudmouth,
make itself graceful, meet monthly fabulous gyro prizes

a coverlet got-ta-get kit's kin unveiled unwittingly shook-up,
somewhere an arc wastes time with the actuary in its windward mesa parry,
a small daydream shushes a cud-chewing moment,
the whip immigrate into and out of its stigmata,
even the awl distends the scrounger whose logo is a piano,
the befuddling ax t-sod lore witnesses a buss adversely scheduled for 3am.

paint-by-number's overcast endowment

from the integrity of imagined sunlight,
all the wall is centered in its context.
I would pray if you would serve as my recipient.
I would unleash the call for new help,
only there are elms still drying.
and the pavement near the work is slim.
and tumblers of accompaniment to fresh bread
ease into subtraction.
is traction evident again?
is there a morphic connotivity
for us to shuck after the emanation stiffens
to found visibility?
only notice forms objective case.
and thumbs protruding into highway speeds
seek to absorb new motion.
is a sickness be waived
after the climb out of insouciance?
say my name into the surfaces,
one noun at a time,
and say it as if meaning might comprise
advance on your forthcoming compensation,
with a chime as close to fragrant
as a smile.

some of the uncle-ing

I have an inkling you are debonair,
but let us finish scalping dust (extraneous)
from our new car, thus careen
across the driveway as we are.
I'm seldom running the decision set,
and yet you listen to my stories
of the tar-stained driver's side,
with white backgrounded by these random scars.

Let us go riding to the hill and look down
on the neighbors without naming.
Any day now they will act in kind.
And I will hamstring my own mind by seeking
to reclaim my seat-time speaking on behalf
of them and thee.

While Here

Even as a nest was being
formed, I settled in,
sensing a mere whistle of wind
could change the place I rested.
I had wanted just a moment
in the world. I was alive,
and then the moment passed.
A quiet thing, a life.
Some moments
one could whisper back.
To quiet from the nest,
reaching, receiving
and allowing lines,
if they were lines,
to blur.
