partial the anatomically endowed along the hike the country road glorifies the human gait the human gait developed over berries then perfected in the lunar shafts I sleep for wanting to copy copy copy it as becries the scrivenor, the inability yellow smearing blue across the pallet, white spackled into sky over river it is all waking up only to feel like a freak. Do not simplify river held and rolled most minute cloud displacements Thousand words
*
Gray suit in the shape of the drapes there busy one with texture then figure through flowered walls with open unexpressed lips you are the big picture, my eyes to foliate later. Blank window at rest now dusty in its corners, no one calling as the lowering pink clouds
ecstatic the sparrows And fatherless afternoon I spend you, big gold watch and chain Dingy pool of sunlight Lucky stag in a waterfall lucky stag washing perfume from your moonlit shirts Tide pulling the world but you must not attach
God please ignore more slowly Drive slow genus species familia Contain no voice presentable no sun bleaching the roof, feeling masculine throning deepshaded eden No failure to love longevity of slight wind of girlish breath strain in every bird fantails scattering wind and dirt calloused hands holding the half-eaten map must not attach Turning the mobile, handling thorn and crown sky weirds there is work to be done drive slow grave bride do you feel a little displaced so

Still water stewing tangled vine, orchids snagged on one's bodice, country gate do not attach. The guide figures the chants, Census returns census returns our ocean has a sunlit zone, a twilight zone, a black depth, and abyss. It is a world of complete darkness, bitter cold, and crushing pressure. Extraordinary creatures who live here, one climbs the stairs of a big white farmhouse Wild roses on the fence existing, robust with something in the human makeup, land of shades, trembling of sea
