all nouns of the world be sleeve
trodden way into this snapclasp
ocean underwhelming your ruin
bland oats alive in your hair

conifer & east orange mirage
bought the intersecting moment, flayed
caught in ascent descent evenly over
tendrils, calamity against white fin

spaced & from your body
because it already happened once
ask yourself commensurately
if the blacktop is how you remember it

pick some electric entanglement
to dwell on: hubcap unexpected shrub wisp
of flower name it for
your speaking tongue but hiding calyx

what's lacking pistil sigmata filament
blackest fireshadow when you say "hurry, hurry"
Mojave curative venous & anthropic
rectangular system of circles in waves

this firefly scrim stars all
into you like a kickback and ride
the ablated wreckage we share ash
forehead open and glowing, the burn

clasped around you Athenic arrow
bent the curve of your earlobe blends
seuthanizing the soft woods
become puddles of speaking planks

residual trance carved coagulus
yellow bride yellow whites
guessing you & I meres of one another

of others you and I are action
bitter cactus tongues
in the garden in the sounding siren
