advent-ure
or avocado
precipitous flesh
flash of fast lives
flush of increments (ok!)
each day peels sky lids
each bell rings hello you can’t go here
so this time
do
balls
of licorice
abstract a centrifuge for
rainbow accolades
penitentiaries for imperfect moments
conscious mementos, gondwanan escapes
hidalgos
on horseback askance
what is it to be alive
in the precipitous minutes
down which hours slide
after everything’s finished?
down which you sniff
the air of imperfect mountains
smell the coloratura of their failure to establish
a fact to hold onto?
to establish a reputation in jismic nuance
a nursery of ripped seedlings
unbearably talked back radioed soul while
wave fronts pile up breakfast cereal
rattling packets
the roadshow
of multiple generative singing
around the house of
tourmaline, or anything that chances the earth’s
thin crust buttresses breached
by mobile polyphony not even
the jazz of emergencies properly prepared for
bumps being summits, ambitious comparisons,
the plain language of earth
just invented – in nipaluna possible morning showers
statewide in the afternoon?
and fourteen more stanzas could be the background grief
to defend my reputation against drug cheating
look up to the sky whence (thanks, marty) cometh
and absolutely breaking down together
more thoughts, only days before those
not in the know don’t know that here are
hand signs to peel fruit with your fingers like
a tsunami too soon all cadenza no filibuster no life
