theme

past sap sapient pagination
agitates angry awning
night-light and guantanamo
malice by law
nihilist and patterned

variation


tool sheds ladder-tongue
but oblong bucolic

tongue scalded loss
and sails

theme

lottery tool dials ladder
dung-grit to each day
as if to say
drumming
waiting
itching

variation

cauliflower waits tooling latter
damages nasturtium concrete
crust aside the sliding bile
boiled language gargles tools
and ladders die gilded dung

theme

later dull tools and ladders sinus
nab able-bodied kayak tongue
under ammo angry and well-lit
knitting hats

variation

each day we say Panamanian
mammalian agit-prop
a suntan in itself
satiate and itch
