winnow
the beginning, threaten time be gentle, or faces falling, bodies screaming,
debated, like a damn commodity. such love for you, such mercy in you, so soft
on a line made of drag. a dragonfly, a swimming pool, kids dunking, giggling,
playing Marco Polo.
so
old with it, like a thousand years, like multiplied by two—predicaments in you,
roses in flames, fire tasting beautiful.
such
burdens, a beating arc, like liver works and crackers; irrigated by gorgeous,
made imperfect, perfectly reframed; precious identity, loafers in summer,
Nike’s come winter, so infatuated—never a ghost for you!
voiceless,
shivering, have they heard, I died!
so
damn untamed, so damn tamed, “What is it?” pure paradox, to become satire, a
fable, an allegory, a cry for help, a woman in excellence!
too
petite, or too elevated, a man has a straight challenge. most see small, think
gently, most see bigger, think aggression, like get it right!
tortured
melody, apace at moments, his fane grieving.
like a tooth
anchor, mashing my brains, alive, it must be rain; too proud, a damn encounter,
so untied, at a Bentley, asking for directions.
