corollas blossom as hops
a cup with a flaring mouth a hollow sphere
to sound when moved
coral of a
flower
the capital of a column
between the abacus and neck
the naked core of cylindrical shapes
within the leafage time
or the time
of deer in rutting time alone and insulated
when of great size a line of
wall
as flanker as curtain
overtop (a borrowing) the
leading
sheep of a flock ringing
changes
struck or rung slowly
the old belief that noise frightens hawks
sound with single strokes
bank the hearths and prepare
for sleep (free to move)
conflagration from untended fires
a tacit conviction of the learned
the desert and the town apparatus
for musical notes signaling
ships
(implied in touching) ocean
edge
against land’s end

—a hard sell and a whim,
rapid tide to turn an auger.
Vex to pester form by means
(befool). Gun barrel (a passage)
by laborious effort through
a crowd.
Circular holes by the rotary
motion
for water or oil. To sink a well,
a tree of insects. As it turns,
this timber.
Drilling a succession of blows,
several species known by shell.
Sandy stratum to sow as seeds
dribbling along a furrow or row,
a trickling allure. To slip
or waste.
Seed sometimes so formed that
seeds
drop into the hole made deeper
or channel to funnel water
to a row of seed sown in a
furrow.
Know that autumn
is a good time
of darkness,
downtown laurel.
Time to deadhead,
what bodes well
unseen in heavy
cover, of foliage
purple with black
bloom on old wood.
Dixieland's rust,
gundog thugs fear
over rise of first,
a rush of wind blows
open, some sand
or fighting cloth.
Rocks may stretch,
of kings how high
in moon.
Twist a simple idea,
unique array of light,
of lashes.

When the material of the
foundation is secured as an image in our minds.
When the floors are sealed before
the coming of fire season.
When the arrangement of rooms is
anticipated for those with an interest in boundaries.
When the size of the windows is
spoken in knowing tones to those citizens of the morning.
When the modules of spring settle
in place.
When the diagnosis of elements
installed.
When the stability of structures
appears to be complete.
When the paper chase of framing still bitter
about that month.

what thin
