striated cry

striated cry late glowering fold
rug damp soft shadow spackle
moldering still books in stacks
summer sheaves insist wing ether
lie under sheet neighboring sounds
screen projects all after life
night comes bifurcating the brick
limp and plastic you sleep

smell of phantom tobacco which
is concrete as the rest
what falls we let go
a desert bug sheds wings
sill dry an acrylic pustule
pips crawl wraps tar pith
hammer ties dissever long lines
hair halo breath draped-over morning

foot-fall rub-eye sun ray catenary
rebar the spines threadbare drift
banded up gravel palmate yawing
swing batter the compote sizzle
jam jaw butter cakes globular
jogs all lobes up hill
se-wing but her composure sighs
elbow prop spin-&-tuck reaching still
