  NOON’S night – phosphorous seed sensimilla singed fanfare:
                                  pure No Strings anthology blink the fact
                                  orchidia briefs a secret, conical vitresse
yells off gravity architecture,
    time eats torso heat exploits
tinier flooding florist leaping luster
                                  conniptionally gorgeous, physically separated
sacred harps, monumental quiet, aerate all other astigmatic star
                                  absent lunar smallness all blue in blue
fight right-thinking with fire, lime boundaries, curvature
redundant elliptic outside singe Same Zero;
    & night pastes up perfume contents – sovereign oasis
                                  evented sky backs face on all counts
                                  cruelly misted charisma equatoriale
zigzagging to the pressure beat – defect to risk
talliable sulphurous curls with every feeling of delight lack
                                  thwarted sense-net and small ones conductibly
                                  dilatable in fruition for its own sake.
    key the pulse: interval ideal
                                  gooey numbers dissatisfy by speed – see?:
                                  free duration training preclusion’s
                                  closure follies at what instant –
the rest is suffixes,
    royale spinning pretty, static free force whirlpooling
trouble in mind soft inability – immeasurable
denied decorative depth, impolite to the eye
tissue eclipse regardless.
    Material cleft vice decimal quiver
                                                                slim out ply
                                                                dub gaps against
binding cerebral mercy air fable of content
escaped me fragile & marinated, compressed to maze
engraveless shakes.
    Unsponsorable luxury of indeterminacy transmodes
moisture has thought thinking perfect
fluid infinitum dizziness repose – all such frills baiting grace
tame veil deep through avoidance of depth
                                  goad distantiated deferment
                                  horizontally small to lure lightning wants
a magnifier buffed beyond belief.
    Inside Choice – absentee! –
                                  wires aim inward curlicuing delayers’
                                  continuous breakdown concedes
you can’t rely on words – difference cause exiled signature
                                  gap’s idealizing frenzy:
    ravenous mash black-out of pronominal sloping the fissures
regret deliberate closing of one’s no essence eyes –
                                  can you expel the difference? – tentacles
                                  of shelf-life crash in arms, liquid punctual
                                  spun bold thrall centerless scheme.
    Buff it off! – preposterous fluidity in sign
                                  fracture struts, incendiary if I don’t
finish words puff as marbleized sometimes, it’s cause it’s not
all there: the hieroglyphic tinsel delirium manifest
                                  pell-blank-mell fancied flickering chain
on margin, humid breaks melisma species;
    spinning is all I see – turn up the heat, don’t be
so oriented; they’re all milk unsuiting swerve
                                  probe all cloture desist
told another lie – fading flaming syllable alarm
that dangers touch poeticizing, nonpareil sticking
idealizing dispersal amenably precipitous.
    Vertigo debut not inside milk fan anticipate
                                  Silver Stark White Velvet naive curves
glare crease extent apocryphal repose –
external body ghost spread, scents exclude position
                                  endless seam spiral jelly maze into
                                  soft substance, untraceable twirl
                                  revulsion terminating,
    I’ll be spinning clings better
incapacity for straight distance cantilevered into
to tell you charm fearless abeyance
                                                                Pucker Free
                                  invisibly wild desire impassed eager more say
                                  more whiter forehead mood intervals:
stretch coil blunt unarmed to pluck blank hood:
    substanceless jetty lured done – Blinding-Recognition Gaze
                                  passion will evict oasis-attachments
not utilitarian, so really embracing, perpetuum doting
carousal fell swoop to a permanent heat –
                                  intellectual anti-icing, Lacey
Liberation, Inseparable Cool Confection.
    More soft sensible silence spoils
hushed militia lure skin equal
                                  sign welt nudge curb blinded
extra-sentient buzz pathless tight
barring or unbarring headlong expectation –
                                  veinless wonder dear reader
                                  felt scarce closure remiss.
    Consciousness a surfacing surfeit even the lightning sounds
implacable in a perpetual tenor be held air soften off
                                  zenith in itself retentively blind
                                  room starts spinning the perfect recess –
gorgeous noise wax sears, rubbing sweetens
fever patience,
    sculpture a space inside the spaces form withdrew:
                                                                sac bonus overlay
                                                                direct nest more sloping
                                                                squareless – magnets –
profitless hideaway intravenous afterhours.
    What shock wish to
last sovereignty lingers – skinless panorama
                                  glimmerized circuitry licensed delirium
                                  to keep Pandora in suspense:
the crease happens in both directions
effacing in circumference edible but equal total unbelonging
                                  fashionable abundantly falsetto
vaporizingly idle candle.
    Jellied personification someone = less
                                  yearning scrim fleshless without debate
bushings articulate perfect disremembering delicate vocal
tenable adhesive sprawl beyond bodies I feel like it it up –
                                  value has no sex, certain hinge ongoing
as size devastated duration;
    & fur retires, compass futile –
                                                                chaos
                                                                intelligence
                                                                opulence
                                                                silence
                                                                indemnity shamelessly
                                  aboriginal parts hysterically impersonal
                                                                breaking diamond heart –
                                  relaxation (also called ‘decomposing’) –
                                  age means more prepositions
                                  sanctify my displacement; lull hum gestural
hurt itself sprawling width enmity as compliment;
    & boom boom: purple stitch pieces fleece
                                  multiple pulse illuminated posteriors –
I am arbitrariness
                                  membrane wanes, system glistens
pleasure to wealth alone, thought back, eclipse shafts
tongue of loss depopulating for pleasure
                                  hovers-in-itselfness.
    Petal fireworks unvolted and float of heights resisted
movement is not toward; maybe ‘into’ ’d be neutral enough –
                                  blaze all firm one
                                  minus one miles of
spore your separates;
    sumptuous lyrically whack hulls of
                                  hope inebriate joys belong
to the brim – sensual coup d’état contrast stumbles in
                                  swingtime spatially roughed disappearance of
the supervisory finger, the audible hand
revolutionary delight off the scale.
