her
feet of
combat zone militia
things you can't write
in my sweater
galaxy pants
off
rib steak
sore soft tissue
out of my side
of my life
I hope
not

*

plaid promenade
burning leaves
laundromat attack
soft-tissue damage
mind-sponge safe
black banana
lattice iron
maybe fold
dead walk
day work
halfcap distress
stalingrad before the snow
they're not that poor
fruit they don't gather
everything is fine when
I walk into the alley

*

brain congee
serious revisionism
state inherited
which side are you on
the one missing a rib
call for proposal
repost
urgent detergent
deterred them from Schwerner
age shattered cage congealing
in names
noises and
other obfuscations
[fragment not legible]

breakaway litany
listen to me
I'm talking
I put on the gorilla mask
and everyone's surprised
the siege
over land because sharks!
red, see?

the falling snow proves our love
a technical blighter
over the balcony land shadow
they were only lines
fun gal I tease
fungalities
so what do I get for the hole in my side

the freezing rain proves our love
the deicer
some red summer
frugal fun
cheap
fighter
in the warm car, icebergs slide down the windows

migration proves our love
eye    cough    & two dutch pain killers

*

fragile sweater
for agile sweet her
irradiated pepper
spray I can't explain
irrational babble day
balloon prophecy
a martyr's name
beyond treason of a doubt
i.e. books
