She plants herself where she will never grow. From where she can
insist from a cappella stance the many objects she desires, and all her
offspring can be put to use. She watches everyone's development
come to a halt. She virtuosically complains that everyone who's doing
thing things is or has offended her. She is a ritual, an albatross,
a catch-all sadness lodged in human form. A purgatorial particular.
She ruins hours, days, and weekends, martyring the psyche she has
held while dragging disappointment to all locales her body reaches.
When possible she holds still in the car, sends someone in
to fetch what has inspired the drive across geography. She looks out
of cruel eyes to discover what is wrong in everybody else. There is no
verb behind her skin. Merely insouciance where passion might have
lived. A safety valve protects her disapproving way of thinking, feeling,
recollecting where adventure might hve pressed ahead into the lovely wind.
Perfunctory displeasure catches whom she knows and can infect.
Inflections do not show, they yield to meciocrity. She reveres what does
not challenge. She sleeps before her intimate tv.
Graying atmosphere, spun stories, cleats untied against the wall, a tainted
chaperone

Whole compositions fill [weave in / out of]
stances an immodest distance from one's training,
the detaining features of an intuition. Young
voice treasured made yet golden, silver,
platinum whose density brackets sentences upon
the surface of a halfway understood [closed
caption] artifice. Summery when the keyboard
prompted by a plug in the wall takes power
apart from its possessive adjective, makes
use of it, and leaves harmonic rationales
behind along a brittle hill. She wore a hat,
she spoke in tongues, she defined the atmosphere.
Vision is its own detention period. In lambent
situ, forested or strained. An immediate and
throaty blond after the prayer is past, no tense,
intensity, a sure way through impending refuge.
Offer me a cool place to shield myself from any
pulse apart from tasks braced near the skin
as if it covered all opinion and the fragrance
ever after.
Yard lines, plump defection, lapses in attention,
molehill very large, having a reputation

I like boring [where the art begins] you
cope. I cope when in the mood [I'm in the mood]
watch out [something about] to be discovered
will be drained [the discoteque] the ample
strings [the wood the plate glass proxy plum]
in northern ways [I take my drama to the bake off]
I size up gem stone tones [in traction toward]
arpeggios released. The more I pickle phrases
the more promptly they come home as language lab
drops curls where dry lines cross the place where
rivers were. I gently touch the top of every trail
until my shoulders glide into the seat where
I have settled like a pioneer who dreams no boundary.
I think a weightless clump of grass will grow if given
time if offered space if left alone, just as
we each take time and traipse across a lifeline
until gravity makes haste and we know things we
should have learned at least once more.
Field greens, pronouncing "no" the first time, life
perceived, unless, apart from, as without a seed

Sole Dadas, Chunk 13
Transduced from Luis de Góngora's Soledades
of the herb meandered.
Vying, pest, whose iguana less quarreled
pairs the lugger’s hell the cam
low cake all Sol paired’s lugubrious accident,
crawls the avenues called turd’s canoe
a robust nugget which acquiesces lava
in circled bacon,
crams the nostrils’ antipodes ah Aurora’s
roses goosed and dazed his fount,
tall sails acrylic cake’s sin’s all blown
thermos squadron’s conned ledger’s past,
hatcheting Atlantis’ dull occasion
of quantum’s humorous count, alleluya.
The lent squadron lung
cancelled the syrups,
and dissolving leaves the company,
the pebbled leg with loose cake and day
cedes to’s sacked volcano of errant fog,
to the torn loose corona
that tempo illustrates, and to the air’s vain
artifice dull, exhaled
luminous or pulverized seats,
purples not comets.
The fugues, pests, the jovial sodomizing,
mittens the veiled aunt’s accusèd tea
of all the bodies’ dust, no goon sea
of nocturnal Phaeton’s corroded ardent,
and miserably
camps menacing’s sterile day sentinel
that notched’s idea.
Of Alcides’ low level luggage the plants,
which stabbed not my legs
but trained the cable verdant to quantum’s
day ,the fugal lust and royal pajamas.
Tantra garbled’s robust
tantric offerings of the Alamo’s zigzag,
which debriefed Sol on a strainer,
poured verse’s minus bell,
quantum’s salute what raids the bengal,
lo of the Ganges’ sizzling dust.
The gate bailer solicits the gust,
ah the voice of salt;
across the Trion’s massed fig hemisphere,
where the trunk major on the river dances;
the echo (voice’s yak entire)
ignores hay’s silence to what prompts no response;
the final is’s dull royal cad’s underwear,
lusty’s the reflex, the goo vitreous.
Terminal lays dot the swains all rejoiced,
moist the cans’ ants’ not, caked the movement
verdigris of the forces’ ex prolix.
3 poems || Vernon Frazer
Following Bravely
cuspidor screaming blue vertigo entrails
omnibus clustered apparel’s delight
the tenebrous tactical crescent inbreeding
a maximum animal wandered dream-wet
oscillated venture tensions cracking
vandal easement zoning boards weathered
crossed cadenzas nourished under sweat
bandana cradles drumming ritual haze
to lidded umber shackles uplifted
at the very tension that the name implied
before conceiving bracket checks
or tilted oven magic basted to wilting
padlock dreams rusting doors before
they happen to click turnstile ovens
for sharked bakers pruning avocado
splints before taste rakes butter hangars
to pimento devices undertaking runic
mannerist prefaces muttering epithets
against the sea comb nearly darkened
to the vertical slabs intended to block
luster trading cloven ventures dusting
shock acerbic nostril mantras in the cold
mosaic of flange-bent dreams curried
at ghost writers told to host the subject
before its predicate bounds to another leap
years before the anniversary battles
number the high lanes of tanker sails
pitch against the fence winds clustered
about the door to surfeit the privilege
montage carried in stark juxtaposition
packets film camels elicit form quagmire
polish when bent vesicles sweeten
disdain as cortical equivalent masted
though winds that salt predicate numerals
entrenching their renewed viscosity in amber
conveyance charged lightly to sugar bush
the red antenna cresting visibly on blank
patterns reconciled to holistic drama gears
shift like the wind in its pail or its intent
nominally assured rental vehicles rounding
dead pavements personified as tactile intent
whose corona varies factual replication
tints that matter to lumbering bluster trim
as carnival sails escargot failures to slow
rotisseries harbored in the revenue dockets
where tobacconists revel in foundries mute
to the splay of fortune legs tabled where fear
strikes marimba chimes predating pestilence
and predatory harp shakers lampoon the sudden
miscreant blocking wind gusts bursting tonic
encomiums fed nightly under canker veils
left to soup the entourage its courage
Syntax on the Dark Side
a narrative leading past tense
disasters feeds oblong declarations
whose cast, a profligate fling to
legacies, endangered statements
that rendered fleeting allegro squints
inanimate: a corporeal wing
beating husks against the rainy wind
pounds its hammering clamors
against the swollen hull’s betrayal mix
plasters the clinging particle fury
to participle hangers, white-robed and
slit-eyed, sending grammar ropes
to reparations seekers voiding
the clear swell of a patterned night
dangling tongues to preposition
filters writhing in the baskets below
the sense of currency shedding past
grammars for parables bleeding sense
Riding the Railroaded
leaking hydraulic amnesia
samovar integuments called
astringent to crawling boars
nursing brindled thatches
to condo stalls that backed into
bridle ratchets all teething
at the core when stacked mortar
prevailed on borderline hail trinkets
for the cast anatomy drizzled
down the curried yellow slope
on watch while cattle insignia buried
a steel-bent graveyard rise
roped a retail calling carded
for aging on the new promises
cashed in against the new
casement and passed the
cash resisters on old pulley carts
ahead to the end of the line
cuspidor screaming blue vertigo entrails

Lamp, finer than the quiet, low breath on a hill, just here.
A quasi silence of the fields and nearby cave. Whatever permanence
appears, we clasp facsimiles of brain again, a wild soft pace
of walking on young paths. She would whisper that her energy had passed.
Now freedom owns its price. I used to sing, the shape of Latin roots
would cry, our depths of understanding crossed axes. Now pain, first part
of paint, obscures the facts. A will to have existed samples what we might give
up when asked. I live here, nourished by a furnace, glyphs dwindling
where they were. The land has peaks, sheds bravery. The limits of our cravings
chastize few of these tall birches. Look at the lake, feel slopes and whistle notable
excursions back to music I was taught, I tell myself. I limber for your touch.
I limit reason to inimitable justice as I fashion it from small things within reach.
Each creative act is framed by scraps I had dismissed. Each morning,
I view a symbol, green, on screen, to show the play occurring. Haiku waiting
to be scooped up to absorb long need. As if harmonic breath responded to a common
quest.
No such thing as same ole same ole, mantra with its quirks, replete with live invention

FOR HER FLESH
you which now says
come nothing
or no facial
find drove me mad
whole she without
prior knowledge
or body contains henceforth
states for me sumptuous
to sound catfish
her spurned nakedness
gives now that signal
lust to breath
patterns hair veritable flesh
formal animals
what manifestations
the space each depending
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THIS FAR FROM THE CHTHONIAN
we are moving
towards
a theory of beauty
tremenous
natures veiled
butane on jehoaphat
stigmata nationalist
condensation steals
redemptive
like cool alabaster
twixt the
seasons of love and
pornography
darkness is rechargeable
for ignition through
contemplation
of stench
I was abandoned
with reclaims
of the high nature
and there
are no accidents
except her
anatomy bred forth
organism like
that time she stood me
up her
dominant motherhood
wave-matron
phallic surplus
condition of autonomy
closing
her flesh envelope
over her minoan
female tower
made me curious
as I crept
towards moment
maximum
intensity
horizontal
chain-like arranged
whereby conversation
became
pointless camouflage
consumption for
the sailors
was her call
FLUSH LENGTH
to the
topographies
of bullocks
marginalization
for the
huntsman
has silenced
people sheltering
fixed authority trala
expropriation
also
fish with
cretan
bull monotone
cross over
jordan making
moan hera
and steamboat coming
melisande
turtle mocked
libertine
remnant
the rose of sharon
chamber in
the house
back the lane
there yard mosses
glow
come to galatia
sumison
flood beside my
yearning
doldrum sword
flush length
CONGLOMERATION OF THE EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATION
the appetite of
darwin
translated into
the
protracted
grimalkin
that
parsiful the
ubermansch
and eater
of the eaten
is it
possible to
lactate some
yet
possibilities
still forbid
conglomerate
without
elatedness or
logocentrism
harbinger of
legs
or thorax water
then some
empiricism
postulated
something
other
that potter's
field
credible and
