reed a star when further winnows
roke subtle orbits
in the ploughed bluffs
of summer

arroyos marred in slatterns,
flaked goatskulls bleached

struck, the preened ivory palls 
of pyreslaw clouds a cave and
mirrors the firmaments 

2

who forsook the plead,
affronted noughts?
the gentric emphasis 
being that of corpsebone.

The latch laughs like a lyre,
a chord uncouth,
a harmony of swoon
to pook 
the bamboozler.

Tin pots clinking man-like 
on broiled spools.

3

sidelong the grooping smite
tets unfettered the sullows 
and hurns a horse to hoot.
Fluidic impermanence 

turns a lore
dulls a creek
sands a par

flukes a brink
