recent ritual
defy ai to write this?
hungry anomaliser, misplaced
comedic comma? the my guard
route to frank madness…
even punctuation is suite
put your
hand on the thigh of time
calm, calm, sail slack
then gradually extend the length
of a line
to fish the other plural verse
empty being next to clean
non secateur, priceless
cuts on a skin; cicatrices
for posterity (if only)
there were places for
counterfactuals to breathe
