Fat green mist. Day falls. Mute overhead. An coded end. Play of fields. Elect eyes. Impressioned. Have waist given to fear. Of prism. By light known. Fallen summer. Devil harp pretend noise. Made to prayer. Stutters still. Will not form lines in this quiet and heavy. How, of dawn. Was made. Was promised. Refused. Was spent. Was stilled. Was silent. Hurt. It end. Away goes. Of that who are you fell. Was stupid. Quiet now. Dangle the scissor. Eerie. Snubbed. For motions there. None came. Oh settle. Please list them. The floors? And only floors. A list of only floors: And if the flies do breathe. And if the legs, theirs, curl. Curl and burn. Spluttering fats of insect. But I am too unhollow. And I am also far too breathed. Goes into the basque. Our chewing deaths. What their feelings are. Renew. Dissuade the heat death of the kitchen. This mouldy it lived here in the long quiet nights spread out in the name of morning. It is why the prison sits. The case for refining tongues. Her mortician. Her faucet. Was knack. Buckled the wheels. And so, as you say, it hurts. Compels the monitors. Checks the drawer. The skinny toes too at the reframing word. I engaged the park with barking. Peeled my face down the legs. Took the toe in the hands. I have a head. But the arm the hand the foot the thumb the back. Far beyond possession. And there. Its speech on tabloid skins. Never fail in settlements. There is this thing of weakness. Who are the population. The course is rags to a sky. We are finically disproved. But, hello. For I have a head. I extrude emblems. My terror potential is powerlessness. A gaudy apple. She sees to shed the wound rope. It is a list of forty lives in there, horrid with moth skins.
Verity Spott. Poet. 'He'd make a big show of sticking the two torn halves in his wallet. When we buried him, Frank and I tossed the last two halves he gave us into his grave. Here ' 'Between the two torn halves of my soul are cities and climates' 'Place those two torn halves of the map together again and you are re-enacting the history of the Silurian to Devonian periods' 'The two torn halves promise but never deliver full restitution'

Her head is wrapped in paper. Eager light of play deface nebulous… Ping open. Snap. Inland of gentlest gantry.

He is cruel. He has shut away my pigs. Locked and scorned my office. Refused my games. Ah, he hates so uniformly. It is a repeater tongue jabs out into unfamiliar airs. My piggies bark and beg of his mercies. I know them. They are kind and deep. Carry a million names. But he finds germs at the front of the shelf. And if he’ll never cease to fear, my pigs remain so: Locked, and all at his mercies.

I ask you must not die. The time is far and there are sirens to be made. Your neck held on to my arm. Ask for the habits of your body. Let them stutter their names: Their temporary, fragile routines. Might not I kiss and I bite at the breath it is indistinct and moves, how shrill and strangely, ah, ah, static.

Who dreamed for us this sky, ah dear departed, schemes, ah
the sleep stole me, the silent doors. Under cover of a life the ah,
hitched away. Distrust does enter hearts. The impossible smell of the
ah, frozen morning. Air, air for you my love and air and air.
