misapprehend eyes conceal price
business so locomotional conundrum liquefies,
    silence flutter out
the serrated hunting knife of your junction gaze
you’re desperate to think’ll do his box
but who’s fudging a plant word embastardize
marble cupid pinking terror unsuffixed
a mouth exemplary lie with a view tightens.

lurk steel adjust gray hair skirting across
                                  privately unpeepered savage courtesies,
                                  zigzag petals mesmerically imprecise.
    No one letters your cast:
                                  vulnerable jump-up blue
                                  you never knew what meat
                                  planetarium caress

                                  a major gay, shimmy submerges
                                                                burnished beetles.
    A taint if tribulation voltage –
                                  I lease out my manners:
                                  spiral curses horizontal discharge
                                  front capsules, super infuse
fakery scrutinizes loud enough to listen off
will or willingness, skirt trough
underskirt counts
furious for each – finger snapping
exploits indolence machines, I bought a glad fisted tear
                                  incensed shirking tenderloin deal –
                                  the jerk! – that’s off, that’s off
‘steal to desire we abuse
