STOLE HOME

Stole a shim to vacate a lot of shamrocks
blood a name to inching in the contest
pressed a line of spores to watch it glow
dressed a time of doors to wrist the low
condoning of pink otter socks
flagged the thunder shining in the east
against a feast of choired awareness
hopped again the suit least charred in suds then
sprawling across hot ham leg ants, swirl the
tuna salad like a hat, belong to tie-dry
venisonia, then bid on loopers,
clot the salad with a ham noose
sprocketed in wheel flay focus lock
grassy like a, bench flood loop
tuned to G-feather (moll) stochastic (blinking)
dunking flacked finger in your sleeping eyes
look at the new world spinning shoulderly the
loomed girdle grinning in the smoke
post-prenatally agog with sugar laces
clangors spinning in the lapsed dusk of blood
sprung from the depths now winging through
hammocks and hog troughs, calendars wrapped
with hose decorated with food coloring
bejeweling flavor slappers icy drains cluste
ring against the piano wrist ticking varicose
thumb quasi stokings matched to
labial rumblings off the falling key slab
Dash! Attorney for plaintiff listens groaningly
sloppy like a lunchmeat beret your
cellphone holds or smothers or defeats or
chisels or hoppers or slakes, the damper
clothed, with powers, and stuns
to fret against the least sum of squabble
over turned as lapendectomy spread a
gainst the eye you savored but prized but
lighted yet kept yet kissed yet teamed yet
torn the slugleaf like a finger in the
mode of a soliloquy or sandwich,
spritzer clicking, a silent cheek given
the beak facing oblique direction
stolid stamping on your throat a salad
cluster lessons lessening nonetheless our
coveted silencia or o silicón sobado
soaked the blankets deep in socks
and salt and hamper dust and beads
spendrift corner, heaps of clothes, crust
a fine thing, feathery as dance lifts lunk
age doubly foaming in the steerage
captive, braceleted, briny, brimming thus
smacky like a blink rush, cabled to the shone
pernicular estate (late) sale b/rushing
the sing-dong plandered smirkly to the sud
den throat uncoated long drink of H20 and
pink lemonade, pierced! with combers

as the scoring on the page works in a row

lighthouse where a scavenger relaxes co-

the dormant wrist flickless thus be-longing

the basement corner like a salad bowl

afternoon past blocks of ice and
close to leaves still learning clamballs
strinking in the suits the hats all wet
with stun and violets unperked now
