haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

(Repe)tons of Fun(dament)

Rounds and rounds of grace tones stipple ardor in my carrel. The lighthouse four km from here has drowned. Maybe semaphore owns rationale, while we, young onions, are infused with incandescent flack. Ingenious methodological ix-nays raunch the livery supposed to deem a person worthy of another person. Coveted pronouncements shuffle within hearing range. Home plots anchor depth. "I'm "waning" you." Until, unless, untimely saplings have been singed, we're going to be wary of divulging stones. Our leisure yields some culpable gift gimmes. I think, therefore I stammer. When you venture, move this way (home first). I'm in the middle of atonement. Shall we veer "at one"? The kinship comes before the amicable unction given in third worlds in which we toy with force majeure. And only then will sign language serve as keepsake as a tacit copacetic sponge. 

Age before bounty, frenzied friends approaching a perfectly coiffed cliff a ground speed 

2 haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Acceptance
 
All right, the dream (so full of you) arrives projected on a rear wall. Everyone appearing to have seen and heard weighs in on a question not quite asked. Recall, revise, recite the script as though you plan to mean it when you next speak in my sleep. As words begin to disappear, rinse, blot, retreat. Connective licensure applies to consenting adults planted in guesswork where guest workers have been placed. I share what I impose on selves I can no longer name. What is the ardor of intentions saying backchannel to those who would repeat me? Frost beneath the glass shifts verbiage. Clarity, as well, removes what it has brought to the equation never meant to have been solved.
 
Ephemera positioned to seem resolutions, fractions of resolve pieced to other fractions
 




Approach
 
Unshared diminution is the language of a broken heart. A proxy vote as unresolved as youth is held suspended beneath a bulb of harsh light. Someone somewhere speaks a string of speech inflecting what's behind the coming rage. Incessant quiet primes vocabulary that will go unused. The window frames an accidental scene. In parallel, some likely echoes hamper sightings of the source. A spliced intention prompts a clean pronunciation of one's size in language certain to be understood. What remains may be allowed away. A form of quiet crowds the light and warmth with natural surroundings.
 
Afterglow, ribbons of cloud, visual learning transposed to senses yet unlabeled

              Gift Wrapped Apart

The Other tried to become
Loft of the inherited “I”
As “I” mistook perspective turned x-ray
An eye-dropper-half of mirrored sense
Looked down like swerve to disregard 
The Other dropped faithfully to the cliff face
On Bridge Drosophilae apart
Open immiscible clear space as being
Occurred appeared a trudged up hill
How naked intruded
Like money rolled & stacked
The plains the vast great stretches of road
Driven like that old tale once
About a gone waitress
Sally & Hugo (her ex)
The tell of it like some aspect of smoke in it
In the fist a heart not known to be suspect
Turn and twin of the monumental
The doldrums of “I” gift wrapped at Walgreen’s
On the load-drop 
I up took my grace among lifting backs
Lifted faces





                 X-tra Wide “A”ngle Writes “Lens”

Words explain “A” by duplicating explanations of “A.”
                                        *
A poetic field plots an impulse fraught with “A”narchy.
                                        *
Gott, und my ally, Salome, limit the space in “A’s” shadow.
                                        *
DUNCES WAR! “SUPER-A” CHARTS THE HEAVENS.
                                        *
“A’s” jist orients our mouths, ontologically a voice.
                                        *
In tha house invigorates “A’s” common poetics, word, y’all.
                                        *
On-camera, “A” hosts NBC’s talk show, Scripted Conflict.
                                        *
“A’s” flat-worlded art is an art in name only.
                                        *
Screams of fungus are a human condition; “A” is a volume.
                                        *
A duped writ annotates while “A” is a cone that’s not a cone.
                                        *
“post-A” states a door is a precinct; a precinct a gaol.
                                        *
“A” writes: Coventry is a monk derived by signification.
                                        *
Like “narrative,” “A” errs in dogmas buffooned by subtexts.
                                        *
Does the black skin of “A” in the curve of the drive?
                                        *
An aspect of “A” copes by processing “the terrible odes.”
                                        *
Fibs are slits in “A’s” mask; eyes illumine the edges of use.
                                        *
“Maintain the abruptly,” articulates “A”, our commander-in-chief.
                                        *
Histoire, according to “A,” interrogates poems in fallen Gaul.
                                        *
“A” is the info in the distance of here.

after haunts unlocked us

after haunts unlocked us
we were brighter as in translucent
and under the Sign Of The Fallen
and to the aloft we would've said
fall ah we have much here
