harms damage silken bivouac photographic skeleton
decades of syllabic sonograms dance 
assorted rebellions belated
amortize the voyage
hamburgers dabbled dharma and deadlines
kneaded read tints and orderly darkness
beneath transliterated finitude
stark edicts confabulated bulk hissing along the magical
silence inclement ceilings
elsewhere garrulous and elongated
toxic amethyst totality
vibrations variable catastrophe
azure olio bird torus saddled adages
do not validate the unheard sayings
devilish and idyllic duplicate
burdens brute tunnel of swans
ash mob baffle storks evict
howling serpentine milkshakes
buzzard with a hatchet
variant cilia clear and dangles will

count on every rebirth to take an hour
or even more another forked onion
assumptions of unitary cunning
some of the muscular mummies
are as quiet as teflon insomnia
under the aqueducts
in the ubiquitous fairylands of the sun
show show show show  show show show show
show show show show  show show show show 

show show show

show show show show  thee thumb tumbler
in the flaming laundramat the nouns are 
token keys tease the pestilential ennui 
but quibbles kabbalah found coat-hangers 
card stock boots filled with bouillon on 
parade around the may pole as dire as it 
is ironic day dreaming vowels oxygen 
benchmarks eaten by yak  waxwing  birdlime

monday

barely negated vitamin hijinks
notably gray robber barons
positron the unfulfilled relaxation
as laborious landscapes vast
and ticklish such harbingers
cauldron uncoiled isometric
equilibrium through the
wastelands and suffixes
nadir kilometers toxicity
desalinated circumference
cacophonous outrage outcries
quantify iconic icicles
oval diaphanous rubble
if only the oiled eye would say so
but no
no balancing act no fishing and
no shoes
