Three Poems

Two tips up to Lock Wind

Seen something keep

seeing something 

Yellow volume (as child)

points off to  2  locks    clearing 

the lane of Doug fir  keep clearinghouses 

Douse off squelch  (the underfoot mode)

Milk suck with hereditary bone spurs

Terrace abalone lend flynt abysmal 

and to recharge unending 

Riding cold heat seeping in its fog

till bleeding

Wears jackets in heats because

               used to the liquor in belly

Only to move Mind Face over next mount

ain    then sane, wring wept       Need to be said 

on now

Relic husks  trotting flu   a bit here and so

gene warrant  and fight the immune one

Beholding metatron as glossary for leaning

Hues to Hanoi

An attempt to send our paints to 

Vietnam 

All these tastes charred     in between the ears (incentive)    Cellar soot glob (cleared)

Wrench from banff scum    Well a guy 

hiked his pants up, tattoos launder concision

backing up    a pill speaker frenetic singes

Pirate perfumes himself  -atomizes to chessboard on by and by     A raw deal

Elizabethan theater urges twin trees along towards the other outside of Higher Permis

sive states in siege   Moss igneous withstanding -a trial we owe an ode 

———

Down the pike// A great evacuation lubricating the lines to push out the Exodus and inducing hammer fidgeting for a prize of survival// Off at slight blueblack is rubber hosing forking over a laught proposal as bird pecking under fence line for closure and plenty// but there isn’t plenty — they haven’t told you yet? Grocery bag with hole.

Fair-tassels hexameter 

entrusted to a(s)certain  set

so   rabid homme of nomenclature 

flexed limpid w/ hard water drops to 

the forehead   an intuition that washes 

bare the hardened rice on our plates an

this is harshly believed but the rain spout 

falls in its lofty aims   grocery bag views the army surplus donning mass and writhes para

palegia at the palais of slick ice in the field of the cornea 

———

The Afters a grey blue lob

and there is no say of what to eat

sleep drink or feel

As of now a drop rise retains the draws and guts of our fruition 

Cobweb of solar plexus stab wounds at the corner of The Behind

Denture walls: a wise place for warblers letting down and seething Loans for meek opposing stature gestures(offhandedly)

These and others   small places in a big one

Phosphorous and incandescence are relaying a lesion    thisll close it up

All these image    mines —lesions more so
