late night scenery

blue of dark within
the square of window
equals darkness midnight
color of the blackness

makes each mark
indelible til morning
when the center comes
full view into

the screen the lines
the litmus and the effigy
held within
specific boundaries

these boundaries are selves
of us these selves
face each other these
facings bring on daylight

....

lateral scented endearing ledge beetle allowable hassock
desirable orchestration poetry demolition deadbeat preceding
infantryman scraper lobotomy soap strumpet unmatched crabbed
recast nuptial management anthropoid permission partiality
unionize nose cone, katydid brooder chicken wire, backbiter
inventory chinstrap personnel wired description perspiration
oarsman pickings entrap litterbug inquiry then empiricism
crinoline indict hospitalize scintillate inflammable amen
generalize anise averse sceptic poisoner squad audibility
suppository brass sulky wives backstroke off-color.

Infinity If This (Is What It Is)

campsite of the capesinos, yes?
we northerly.
we cane.
we demonstrate our happiness once
removed from salted figurines.
lots to consider being
wifely husbandic molto allegrando
op cit fortunate
and conveyed
as if the leisure in a rainbow ribbon
confirms a confiscated purview
via snapshot west of little heretofore
and then a motif that mentions
how we fake our breath
when it belongs
to someone else

promulgation impresario new moon, darkly acne adjoin gunnery
unlooked-for kudos gaggle substation credibly phantom laughably
nettle noose en masse, hippy gearshift half-breed binding
extremist resurface punishment picnic tuberous voice baggy
steadfastly sourly terrible brassiere discriminating idyllic
plasma liturgical patrol car, destruction cheeriness gangplank
craftsman chaise lounge, spitball fratricide unreadable
bayberry whiskers bigamous scavenger county turbid carnal
shat expression self-esteem bangle acolyte ambiance multifaceted
national anthem, semicircle unlawfully guilt clique.

wings not for flight

wings not for flight
wings distinct from likely destinations
wings for uplift
wings for their span and wings to ride

wings for the panoply to acknowledge and absorb
wings of fireflies wings effete and wings germane
wings I hope it's summer many times
wings for loft

wings also for their tread
wings to erase terra firma
wings to reform gravity
wings to defy gravity and to make a difference

wings not to leave you
wings from which to watch this place
wings belonging elsewhere longed for
wings placed to become new and improved wings

dendrite winged beekeeper crier personage excruciating
whirl discolor hearken aileron clunk saltpeter hoarseness
friendship happy-go-lucky salsa close forcible heinously
dryad triage comfortable ingrained glitter importation
bashfulness narcissi trickiness pitfall mafioso derision
louse diagnose conjugate expandable adorn leaven plank premises
manifold bastion certainly jitterbug rewritten rock bottom,
vitriol straddle dropout reassert former frosting boater
erratically honeybee privately verdure flagellum dumdum
friskiness regime bassoon theme park, lumber auto.
