Pyrrhic Sleeve

Lifting arable spoils, the wilderness entitles chosen riders to venerate the foolish, hinting at rudimentary maritime deeds. Longing for fresh beaches, lava turns to ailing tuba crowns, defacing winter’s moldy artifice with salty sporting queues. Granular Cossacks frisk intelligent loiterers, careening through coiled gravitational whorls of specious tape, spurning toroidal courage. Whodramel chodsquotch bendel, smooning lorm napheen, calm suringen knate orightum erkon dorph tamein, on spenturestic umteerabun septerin coneith. Vegetation quakes in mock wanderlust, encircling bland celluloid, crafting a moistened vagabond’s weird earpiece from lost and swollen trysts. When ringing coils employ a spinning crate’s loosened imp, sunbreaks tend to postulate grown auditions, minting oldies for tolerated chaff. Phor poujiewok moutle, en emeriet orm, egrenious chlockers armenie saloup, yedrenkian postule sarephial ardge, esprenkular dobble zoolulin menabular frodder untenten damooth, pleningen sout ennerwick cluger hachook, execre entouda’s swate artule chureen, aquonicle barcutire frexaled sprenecunum plooj acturine. Motives might be drafted, egging off your surest crank, but whereabouts wheel exploding comics into stagecoach plumes, cantering to missile torment. Even so, the rapid spread of pristine Algonquin snow peas threads our woozy backwash, throwing hearty plutocrats beneath the Pyrrhic sleeve.

Aural Foam

Uncharted guardians immerse crazed boatswains for the plain old ultimatum’s neat exposure, chopping whirled stallions, fleshing into harpsichord blues. After wholly blown gamuts of roving neckers empty their woeful cache, embattled pleaders can bar the listing scaffold from fodder’s swaddling moon. Sewmoucken dareinestle’s swent morcher bareem, archeduous dexirs entrogen fagunial moivenatch remmel gremar. Ledgers feel anonymous lefties, falling for legalese and unrequited stentorian curls. Haughty colluders win forty more pewter steins, mashing silky hoops, querying freely sewn tracers in bouts of aural foam. Heph nonparium ruxen upiesoch, trem ind octorces uva rhousan traicie whoats, urgington hoggle ven phais vertoste. Average tubular geckos clamor for brick, overstocked and unfed, numbly traipsing into snow channels. Casting unguents churn potatoes, breathing eyed dust bunnies, fantasizing for feral whey. Skewbly efterloch habbles dron ertimous prutal, chaltering whone graphum quen todiron indar frenexulan spreit. Leftun taz crumal fivern orcherdus loachies, excrepiens wonest gembier onchivol creet, outamous bont surentingal phlaxicant otch. Jilted gaffers give gorgeous swingers a chastity torch, completed by consulting mares on parole from Inchon’s flexible iron filings, crampons notwithstanding.

Gristle’s Waning Crux

Triangles in shadow, pyramids in deep temporal haze, trade jagged rectories for diving turns of germinal loot. Who could venerate the pendulum’s extent, beyond imagined life, atop a sequenced banter of old mechanics, intimate yearnings, and loosely coupled noise? Unte canow etso pieced unden cerens, sawinty eds loiketa mooterawls ondie sloopinde rute, ensleemenlie undresene plophusion. How sampled, this reminiscent omen of daytime juries, ranking spiels, wardroom rumbles, and warm commuter gruel. Gwan, givan der oars oloif tebarn marfool tamuve derbranrity blowns aboot datownz, mebie chesta pheil dawindy strangs omutter phrowin frue deremainder fortylocks. Taxidermists plunge into wooden charts, parting with shots of soiled ornery seizures, from salient spleens to squash factories near emery pleasure pots. Alacky blink und das enchien schutts, et egrez actunly taroitime, yeoldin toa metercricycle onter ane destantie rode, loitinus chair dawite knois, denc ashenle crois ov mein loichus; awly blachbleet vieda nomotinial coarsoda lowinrode. Closer to comforting blowguns, a bird call waxes omniscient and flawless, risking it all on gristle’s waning crux.

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

I think you ought to notice how I got here, if you must. The sole prerequisite I dare mention is

this homemade map you did not make. One that wrinkles the way the other wrinkles, not the 

sort of fresh new folds yours would have shown. I want you to relish how this map defines for 

you the first location that I did not know, the one replete with people who insisted they knew 

me. Acorns popped when low October flame occurred to them. I liked smoke when I 

walked and where I rode. That was how I found out various ways in which I never was myself.  The quality of entity most often happens as a fractional restraint. Like one of those games you are assigned to play to show that everyone's related to all others. Where you walk around with one flat piece of cardboard chopped, and make small talk with others in the faint event they might help. When you pretend you are enjoying what is impossible to like. With people you don't blame at all. So take that map and figure out where you are not. This is the way to start relinquishing the Heisenberg that would represent you if you really loved the theory. You see, I'm older than you look. I'm younger than I am. You're actually my child, and I was just born to your mother. Take my facts and place them in a blender. Find yourself a flute and duke it out with some policeman who will ticket you if my predictions for your future come to life. Which is to say, repair your expectations, because of all the self-hood in the house. Where rules will louse up how you frame your past. Until you know that you don't matter and don't mind, no matter how fast and how far, no matter what you think you might in 

retrospective future tense have started off to want.

All sentences that start with so, hand-holding even with air shadows, purportedly desiring

and with various imitations of emergency

poem || Jeff Harrison

Helena
 
I might have unto my paramour that heavenly Helen which I saw of late. Ah, Psyche, too simple is my wit to tell her praise. The agate lamp within thy hand. Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter when he appeared to hapless Semele. How statue-like I see thee. Ah, Psyche, from the regions which are Holy-Land! 
 
The agate lamp within thy hand. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? In yon brilliant window-niche brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter when he appeared to hapless Semele. The agate lamp within thy hand. Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face. Be silent, then, for danger is in words. Too simple is my wit to tell her praise whom all the world admires for majesty. How statue-like I see thee in wanton Arethusa's azured arms. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Ah, Psyche, the agate lamp within thy hand. That heavenly Helen which I saw of late. Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter when he appeared to hapless Semele. Be silent, then, for danger is in words. 

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

When I feel poor, I buy as many gigabytes as I can capture, in as tiny a container as

is made, then I am old wealth leaning into futures that depend upon my thought, my words,

deed done. Then for the moment I am Hildegard von B, I'm in a Wendy kind of spree,

I know my art, my art knows . . . and the hammock of immensity drives home run praxis

to the pale scope of the full moon in a prior season. Look at all the space I can't describe.

The feeder schools. The impact no one speechifies. The step "validify" that BC named

this ay em while we thought about the flunking privilege inside language arts. It's been

a dray hued day formed out of what I say. And many ministers of many functions dip their

fingers in the extreme unction of it all. You play gold mine keys, I say believe this

hunch. I take your grace to lunch. Amid a swervy kind of roundelay. We ship shape

our way beyond beneath beforehand and we simply play.

 

Long live, long life, long story, no strife
