...........

outerloper

interloper

centipede spine straightener:

SLOUCH!

don't lose the juice

lest ye lose a digit

or a cleanse from a demon;

emeritus and unscathed,

our love is unlimited

like an ancient whirlwind -

not only is it magnetic

i can even taste the electricity

SURGE!

and our souls reset

divorced from digestion

in a state of arrest

bathing in a wall of sound . . .

like a spirit kindred or

like a spirit catatonic

my words are of the earth.

i halk,

of the

bath birthing

back breaking

side winding

evening collision of

collars and kallax,

a.k.a. the

NATURAL!

decay of the forgotten father.

it is the murderer of the meadow

i suspect, who has stolen

the blue from the sky . . .

while the field furls forth

in a fury, bending in an isosceles

of waving grain

for our tempest

in which to compound their grief

inside our secret teapot;

i am at the creek.

writing on the rock,

my heels splitting,

my insides coming out ............
