Irene Koronas


from lithic cornea


delonix


anel petrog and pictog link. some say
hinge box upshot. leather covers lost
numbers. replica. return to sender.
cave 7. riddle pits. burial cists trace
skeleton, dirt points scatter skulls
flat in back crania as basket people
differ. old before dug

lower dead upper dead

cradleboards carry gulch avators.
cop shells mettle to win past photo. is it shit.
yes. hambone cattle lip alcove 300
feet above loom moqui

fill in dirt. dig ack

the last terrace crow flies fleecy.
stopper. seven thousand beads
black and red olla tassels
close to storage

monument turns parochial



derris


wistophir caught mud. wull season.
vitrine rolls off cotton sleeve, tight
longitudin ripe with fila dyes

                     weft
                     twill
                     rig
                     shift

encomium furls musk

spit down heels



bauhinia


two corner plotsome floods
a sleuth who sets mote on liffi
dwell a lie written on red crumble

head bunches. grass soot shot off
undammed wedge, seven hundred
feet tall below blocky uzz.
end notch window. ocher

still clung to charcoal scoop, bark
middens in front. mono flavor
tracks a signature blanket
