About Us

Ambient Friction

Fleeceflower tensile in the Flemish bond, spire leaf

milling stone, weights of moist sand, yield stress,

wedge of weeping, for sere of home.


Teeswater, in the timothy, pleaching among the 

linseed and the rape, harrow the sowing sheep, 

in the foster, bail in the field peas, and the fen.


Bringing to every farrow, the offspring of hue,

every progeny postnatal borrowed from color, 

every enceinte red, estral purple, the morrow.




Lady in waiting, au pair of Abigail, soubrette’s hands,

doyenne fluff, the morning flowers, between-maid of 

silk sills and morning bowers. 


Bidding writ garnish behest, principle munitions of

pleasure, parley briefs of verbum, all manner of

herald, before the criers questions levy or left.


Folds chatelaine, dowager sheets of starlets, abbess

the morning, first paler, of faint blue skies, vignettes 

palatines of sweet eparch, clove subtle the spill of

milk, light lips that seal by shutter.




Tulipe noir, pardon drams before the synergy,

tableau vivant, as delft shadows case, below 

the Trident Elms.


Jostle won among the soil, midnights crate of

goats, laughter’s albeit, hearts of exercise, odds

astride the gloat. 


Through the thorough jade, sings the throat 

of sorrows, heiress voice the yellow flowers.

Truth concurs with the aromatics, such undone 

on tapis, those fallen with autumn’s coats.




Poniard fine curtail, for ebon through the light,

sciolist cutting the gathering oaks tegumentary,

seeking the shadowgraph, in secret placements 

of Sabbath weather, the opaque measure’s of 

long forsaken fingerprints.


Figurante quick above the blade, leap before 

the protractor, where all that was given, is

taken back. Pillon of the saddle, where the

stars of skiagram nestle, pry unique earth, 

entrances agape, the baffles of the burning.




More naked than her clothing indicates, emotions

beyond the cloth, she animates poets, sable readings,

water along the thighs.


Wring from the seas one last breath, what strath

recondite might commute, opus of final compression,

inwrought forms of waves to wide. 


Beyond the transom, be the door, plenary’s sheers,

the pencraft unspoken, radials unheard, leave the

bodies of invention, to aggregators etching, liters 

false composite, on ocean floors.


Charybdis, anabranch, ghyll or rillet, the halyard

line that lariat before, rota, the unnamed by rough

sand, turn over gybe cries of shore.




Hope  read from it’s book of stories, future tense

premises hatchling cavities in the barren trees of dim

winter nests. Continuum’s of it’s red feather in gray 

quay, pressing in the wait, incendiaries of near summer

coming.


It’s finds us traveling it’s three mirrors, June Meredith

undressing, in the looking glass of face, how you made

love to her crystal image, smooth eyes observing hand

roses of erotic serenade. Mimes in present orgasm, have

moved away, but remainders now insist on countenance

ensuing another day.


When the night breeches we pace through paths that

lean away, we raise the backs of silver memory, and

there intemperate future pledges equivalent promise,

and every need knows to watch, how quickly the breasts

of Meredith began heaving.




Summery breezes minim, the bright white lace

of her bellows cap, a golden rim at her cup of

Rosa moschata. A pennyweight of spilled tea,

circles the trimming, of amending tilts of the

saucer, her once of hand and handle, less servile 

in laughter.


We sip finger broken flavors, Mang Fei from 

the wild arbor tree, four hundred grams pressed

into cake, savors white asparagus and bittersweet

plum, dried and rolled our peck of tongue.


Before the cane cloud assembled solitaire, the 

even sky, Pu-erh spent its leaves in subtle

durations, pruning in brief epicureans, of mild,

warm water. somewhat like pears dripping the

porcelain cheek, what is liberal in her smile, finds 

dilations in her Iris, latitudes she fills with 

meaning. 




Noctivagant, trajet soft somnambulist, mincing 

step in the juggle, fin tails of the visitant that 

fairway traverse, her limbs devoid of amending

nets. 


Peril at the ends of the willow, finery if herpet 

saunter, though the streamers of nomads,

singers prevail at her fingertips. 


Divagates swift, as the headlong flyers from 

Tartar’s bow, shiver to half feathers, merciful 

sojourns in triplicates, affix to greenwood,

burnished hems of kisses, billing Paradisaea, 

or soft trapeze of Ptiloris.




Lavenite petite or movements ballerina, net by

grace, camera lucida, pipettes arabesque, round

the arrows of violet. 


Neillo black circles, in her green field eyes, kew 

red the evening skies she travels, in clothing cusps, 

light transparent, English gardens, her prints 

long metric, of Hidcote Hiant.


Millings through her slips of breezes, such wings

as tremor, her currents of heart, Iris x hollandica,

leaf she blade, to arch of earth or Anouk mirth 

of course.




In particulars seriatim, abyss in ether’s scream, 

as Circinae clutch, the sequined interstice, parsec

heavens, shall miss. Propria persona, the long 

margins of embers in the static, least of items, the

small mite in the reels, the particle spread out in

over sight, squeeze the jotted woman, her virtuosi

idiosyncratic.


Sporadic in gaunt soliloquy, bystander by shadow,

bleacher sprite, the wraiths of hole, they who fled

the waste of trumpets, refused to hear the shorelesx 

speaking. Time’s expansionist to trilling crowds,

where the fortress band obscure, found vacuum, in 

the plenum voice of scilicet, allay beloved audition

globes, her burnt offerings, exemplars chant!




Pendant wave at her chest, pale tunic lain over,

the aisle between her breasts, blind sails the said,

Eucharist in Geneva’s cloak, wisdom’s thirds of 

Daniella. Campani’s eyepiece, extensions from the

mast, adit alb her reachers brass, lands cogent to

her guardians touch.


Damson cowl, lucid puce beyond the mists, islets 

white as gardenias trellis, unlettered inchoate the 

light summations miss, or missals neglect. Soft 

practice, her fingers perching, rest upon her stomach, 

the oscillations foibles of thrones, all the grand sires

of acres, the memory trees will mourn.




Panning the lace of fairway aprons, the forcing

bed of burning leaves, searching yaw cuffing 

portion of her red slip. 


Elevenses so tiffin, serving entremets of Lucullan

feast, spice scenting from flares, her heroine fires

of mantle rocks.


There was row of white steeds pulling cabriolets,

Vis-a-vis, she was not, neither fiacre or dray did

transport, gallant manes her visceral ousia.


By the angle of angels she came, hoist heights 

emporium, four-o’clocks, offering her fragrant

hand, carriage desobligeant, stems thirsty.




Matter wave de Broglie, crest or trough, bight of

pendulum, as the pillars fall down. Loggan stones

oscillating in maelstrom, pant for sine riddles, the 

earth weaker than water.


Ides lie flat to tablelands, those drown by campos,

what warblers who breathe, wide open to the 

firth, leave the sudd for couloir, and pardon their

errors, to Barents sea.


Millstreams patterned to bourne, dreams of Forth,

sprinters run over the fountainheads, sweet cloth 

left to Achilles. Forsaken brides of filigree, wistful

wrist lace fail, fingers unbound diamonds, succumb 

the ends ardor, by freshlet.




Lingerie, oriel’s lead sodden, insets within the beautiful 

heart, longing for the vessel silks, her palaces karma sutra,

exquisite landings, placid gently, through her figure.


The rains of expression, lay upon her pillow, tender is

the thirst before her, need futile in longing fingers of

seas, every irrigation that lines the cheek, know that

water can not be captured, such dreams in the folds. 


Fetish visions find her mist, in imagery sections of

bonhomie glass, thought in a thousandth moon, so

touch her crescents. Concerts  timing her buds for roses,

something Victorian italic, her night counts, Roman 

numerals, in numbers lost counts.




Amie Saliba, archer in the blue sparks, clearing

pursuant, beautifully transparent crystal, violet

tuckings throughout the Grape wine, drinking!


Offerings lifting gentle vocations, heart and soft

organs behind her Karmakara leaf, whispers she

hums by the bowing strum, liquid wires, singing!


All to tryst, nuances I sense in her kisses lux of 

Papingo arrows, rounds in her feather ends of 

spinning popinjays, Kilwinning, flights birding! 




The Gypsy moth nurses in nativities of ryegrass, 

follower of Acanthus, beside the caravans of

stippling, stripes of crops. Nestling the crisp air,

in the fragrant, mild yellow flowers, of September 

squash. 


Holly blue butterflies, gasolier among it’s pleasures, 

Myretoun, Loughrigg or Isabelle, turning to, the

tuffs of heather. Viceroys laying plain, to sort their

spears, in white vein cuts, through the milkweed, 

field counts and countesses, that feed by summer, 

sweet Mays of flosse.




Heedless Lethean, rote by knot the threads of

water, as if there were summons, what foreseen 

mnemonic, of nepenthe on the river? Blank be 

the bottom stones, or curls efface, it darns by 

currents, the sparse expectancies of the amnesiacs.


Hands that take Shakespeare to verbatim, the

course of walls, weight as text must invariably 

fall, to the nag of wrist. Stricken stories always

as truth will collapse, downward in the etched,

eidetic facts lowered nudge, as nautical drown

or read.




The passage leaf to sidebar, parings of bin ends,

back matters in quotation, crowning storm’s caste

signatures, fells of flowers resting douse, the dower’s 

poems, sluice soak of blotters. 


Scouter’s willow of the hundredth’s assembled, mix

affinity in shedding, the syncretic ends in parish

wards, of Magnus cloud and it’s integers water. 


Full be the crying that wears away the cheek, the

overture cumulus, will vanish white in province 

magistrates, before the governance of blue, or

fractions blush falter hue, where hardened pink

mourning pure, the virgins gathered. 




Turnstiles in truth, willful fluting the paradox, as I

fin winds exculpatory, consigns settlements in toning 

keys, roses searching the sorrow of gales.


Scribners of cramoisy, carnations swiveling through

the rounders rings Victrola, coronations dreaming 

of Hansard fingers combing pale pink flora by tress.


This base needle lowered by head, oared over, bends

to her murrey chorale, unctions more brooking than

tabulations of cellos, mists of gray, hearths annatto.




Assert either frond, of stems Nori, the right by wave

ordered downward, the left to turnings grief. Sea 

tangle, twisting Gris to Deo volente, sargassum or

Ulva recede.


Demurred waters malade imaginaire, tidbit the rind

of proxy, elegant pleasures of ordinations, water’s 

sweet ironic, deviations of archaic assign, it’s leisurely 

atonement.


Kappaphycus alvareli var, sun until constant weight,

whites technique, sauna dried, conjures diving kelp to

green error, vivid ransoms expelling, ire ilk of tares.




Belleau wood, cinder in the feathers, carnal 

dew of Icarus, sculptile shadows glyph the 

amaranthine clay, the blood of orchids, in 

Nabeshima ware. 


Lyre-tailed nightjar, perhaps Tschudi’s, sung,

of March ice to the tarry sun, where is the fresh

chiaroscuro, tones, preen match by pulled chest, 

auger aid light compliant, concealing pullets and

cockerels.


Forests in the hemming hedge, guard all the

pinioned knights of kraal, yenta silenced in

yards of sedge, interlopers where cocks of

quit, cringe talon trail, paling hedgerow’s as

first wing flies. 




Inns brief breve, of brace or half, in burning grass 

of Parnassus, green willow near the wheat, scintilla 

dreaming in the flash phrase of auras. Sash windows 

seated left of berms, heliotropes faithful in slur or

band of blankets, veld green apostles, of the Irish 

rose. 


Light tasks in flux of sojourn, vervain between sweet 

briar, bryony and bluets, as to bough her limbs of

music, or russet, the gardens of appetites. Friable portal

that seed or vine, her levin lass twice, through canopies, 

clearest voices of slipper flowers, and ragged robin stellar, 

skyline’s, unburdened brisk, jay or blue.




Musteline falence, dele it’s winnowing hues, scoriae silver,

gone by the light, of scarified moons, burden cull of color.

Dull gimcrack intruding, zonulets Duce, occluding halo,

if Black Saladin ceased to rein!


How do I think beyond housebroken ideals, perfunctory 

less officiating, tight masonry in muscles of imagination,

tarpaulin’s kepi of crown? Ignition in the shoulders, girdle

of amulets, epicycie in sextant, distractions prevaricating 

the tilt of thought, my purple that can not come home!




Trysting plicate, efface at the bottom of bice, censure 

in the cruor of crow’s feet, scribbling in her benches 

sapphire, santon cynic of Diogenes.


Roulade her eyes in danger of escort, lazuli sighting

from it’s back, megrims inviolable, gathering ribbons

of regnant view, kingdoms will not enter.


Sevens in the blindfold, rouge kindred, her thirst for

fair-skinned seams, skeins between beset and felicity.

Nihilist hurrying ponceau, facta cutting scars of pen, 

acute narratives as pupils thin, relics by pant of gates.




Augustation, hals where the hourglass confers by

neck, narrows in the silverware, describer in the bent

of a universe, isthmus tales told, in culinary manners.


Mid-table, are roses in the ghat, strictures polite sort

among the guests, desperate streets in the allervale of

hand, cervices lacing to pent, silver Surya, truest sister

of Lorelei.


Thieves in the Latin of cant, nonce words of crinolines,

Ido in the wedding chant, neoterize in jargons argot,

pen names in Anglicans, bruit gloves concealing, the 

cold hands of, yes.




As clavier, the tree upright by stave, sharp support

leaning into the crutch of its broken branch, the fetch

of winds in semiquaver, breathing in seasickness, as

a toss, by burden, of uilleann pipes.


Uproots against the underlying, parts leafing green,

bard brown it’s bannister dying, canorous in the

whistle, tossing dances to flageolet, contrapuntal to

bracing operatic, intervals figures, Terpsichore steps.




Servitor yields of supple benignant, mirth to pursuivants

of bodily keys, trumpeters to pressings, carrier fingers of

forerunners, note. 


Mnemosyne of sentiments, dispatch of gala, internuncio

of barometric prose or sleuth lenient, cadence, muscles

low back, sinew’s soft rote, through articulate hips.


Courier’s familiar in condign, crier’s envelope folding

inward, the heart of intelligencer, it’s waxen seal over

iris blood. 


Memoriter, on bone tablets writ, retentive circling, of 

golden mannerists, beautiful legates of emissary, angelic

digits middle bowing, seals of lover’s, centrist’s  tight.



Quarter hour as water measures time, cleavage 

clearing liters to farragoes, apportioned spread,

ballon, graceful limbs upon the pairing point, as

chimes ring twice, echoes reaching, Pas de trios.


Syngnathidae in Gordian knot, Porites, porites,

intrinsic imbroglio, mazes male, female, both of

birth, conceive or bear, our thousandth mean in

leaving, notes of expeditions, portions given, as?




Fieldfare calls for broadened leaf, Temminck’s stint,

for hides of shadows, ambient camouflage to matches

gris or shale. A caveat crease to bower ploy, the nest 

of maiden instincts, mimicking the cordons, down birth  

and breast sitting.


The cloud Segway, seeks to penetrate, the sodden 

earth, to her most gregarious depths, she retains those

streams of path, insular intimacies held for a period,

her comport from the sun. The columns rachis, veld 

campagna, wish for implicit singularities, in revolutions,

tedium’s of momentary earth.




Tief of wax, what is fragrant, low in the flesh of

gardenia, so it is, she is disrobing candles, par

warmth seeping, her beadwork facile, strand to

forming spherials, lithe fells, gathering collections,

minuets.


Figurines she finds pre-saying, her orbiting planets,

shifting light, fascia in the idling, of her portraying 

fingers. Sotto voce, less cantus firmus, verses hissing

gently, closing night, by nib of wick, or sections it is

whispering, parcel yes, piu’ mesto, sourd… 

ladies singing.




Rest poor common, in context textures brown,

something of cowslip in the tan. White edges, 

the tint of mulberry settling in the roan. Noting

shades, each of soil, trilling polychromatic, the

beading wards of feathers.


I lifted once, beauty from asphalt, light bands

and soft eyes, trembling pinions lessor lessons,

paradigms yielded instincts, ancient sentinels 

from heaven taught. 


Buff-collared nightjar, sweet crest by sage or 

tuft, Berggarten or Purpurascens, sweet avian 

carol, it’s garden floors, to seminal sanctuaries 

tendering comfort, shielding shelters beneath, 

milk green fasteners, of fragrant, ample leaf. 




Say’s Phoebe, sing of swaddle songs, for those who

drey in cliffs of over hang. Sentient widow’s cleft of

sod or rash root veils, giving but pardons hand, black 

roses, buried gloves. 


Sora, hares through water, keeping the bolt of count,

salt tears, salt seas, every human breath, the waves

inhabit. Given tides, each sight, to it’s brief cup color,

flagons elder meaning, it is here, I pour mine, lazurite,  

or amber, Celt green or brine. 




Confiscating black umbrellas in the paladins,

capitative nodding the obeisance. The boughs

redolent cloy, the misappropriated curtsy of

acriform clouds, lout or bezels, the meager before 

the audits rest. 


Thrasonic thunder pealing, pale the fair skinned

throats of poets. Flushing stewards in suppress 

seas, the water beyond, the lines of sand. Citations

wringing origins from the apologue, mythical  

novus homo, leapt of glory taken, lithe from land.




Palming circle pyx, Sefer Torah of light,

ninth of Av, Tishah b’Av, winter eighths 

of menorah, waxes downward sol of scars,

solstice. 


Druids or flamen, cruets fascia’s of flame, 

votives furlong in the false linen shadows,

orchards swift movements, in those casting

figures, of illume shawls.


In the hours beneath, Fagus sylvatica,

‘Tortuosa’, are the varied tellings, of pellet, 

kernel or seed, inherent silts of hearth missals, 

Catholic, of the beads. 


Twelve wired, bird of paradise, monstrantia

relics elaborate sate, ornate ornaments, I 

requiem observant, excessive designations, 

betroth to engrams of art, my sermons hail

by summons.


Crescent’s brimming beak of sacrament, black 

friary feathers, enhance the pontifical scrolls, 

tartrazine remiges, quinoline shapes of Payot,

leads dossier dozen, artifice sacraments, in arts,

I faith.




Elide brief be brusque, succinct cording in the

armatures, Herron’s handbreadth in carat bone

of Gunter’s chain, bare ellipsis, brunt or preen. 


Phainopepla’s prelude perch, the pardon pound

of branches, patience plain the pitiless, puritans

black, white disciple, Proust or pride so seen.


Brown bister in the gray wood, reed’s almoner 

baritone, where the Hawfinch rises, beyond the

Brambling, melanin’s flesh image, of estuarine 

sound.




Tabula rasa walking black slate, in paucity and

absentia, fertile leaf falling without floor, to laden 

in the droves missing. Pannier full, the kits of

fist, defects in knapweed and gnarled paper, the 

godforsaken creel, fodder’s dampened grain, 

seeded lines of sodden hopes.


A beautiful lady touring voids, golden husk beyond

her quilts, clean of mislaid barren, schematic’s russet

braids rest truant, her gap of curls. Jeroboam let the 

tears, embroidered poppies take in, from the hand of 

suffice, throughput steep above her wrist, kerchief of 

diaspora, tiny square her cotton cuff, un-redeeming. 




Tib’s eve, the extempore fifth season, of interval

and aperture, the clearance and headroom of space.

Auspicious parenthetical, idle time or never ending,

the surrounding algid cloak, warming the temporal.


Amadou, opportune tinder, the touchwood earth

clement warmth, for our breathing items of tiny

labor. Characters clay rub near, the lucid punk of

summer, shivering in interstice, by the long wreath

of elliptic, the sine die calends, interminableness.


Part pejorative, the trait embers, of the lemma

noble who speaks it’s life, in flash pendants of 

womb and child. Incidentals of pinch fire or set

flame, thriver in the mummery of blue midnight.


Timorous celebrations ingenious, the sycophant

skip of briars, waltzing beyond and over, the 

rimless grid of mausoleum. The sediment sound

that concierge the fiddler, and the silk ties that

slipper the conceptualist ideals, of surface.




The pewter tulip and the phonograph, needle of

the hummingbird beak, eighty two revolutions 

in melodies of shellac, the Purple-throated Carib

strumming. 


Tin-foil cylinders, or cylinders of wax, twin pins,

one recording, the other playing forward, egress 

tomes, pairing primers of amber bills, tympanum 

of orchid wings drumming. 




Brownstone and the recluse spider, autumn umber

the tobacco leaf, nullifidian in the wayfarer’s walk,

something nectarine in latent sunlight.


Feathers of Caffie fowl, tucking slate gray and 

white lie, beneath the bark blanching, Chestnut

trees, auras that require dusting, alkali blench

from descendant branching.


Water-finder in the dowser of intuitive skin, senses

the rain gauges wringing sodden, as every color 

before the Adam’s ale, will darken by damp. 


Returning beneath the roofing and variegated 

windows tinctorial, I pigment the the knit of

snow, that soon will lie, caution caught in fences

 barbed wire.




Insular, winter’s truce of sound, armistice calming

the redundancies of doing, transilencies calumet, 

the quiet thins of white. 


Argentine silver, in paring the ice pieces, nick of lilies,

ghostly promenades abiding, midnight necklaces of  

sapphire, bedim snows coming.


Phantasm’s tacit surveillance, ajar portals of the

fuglemen clouds, entrance quartermasters, blinkered’s

hoodwinking notches, of mollified moons.


Conjuring more solid illusions, from the magical 

fallacies of cold estimations, the crestfallen frosts

of bluff or woebegone, peril charms, of childhood

flight.




Cure soul the benefice sun, vicars earth of trembling 

bones. Clepsydras in the water time of run, non but

the mystic musician can chronometry. Beatify or less

grommet, the pause or speed, lift or lowering, the 

golden Amherst, fetishes of dawn.


Delicate cooptations, in first fruit definitions, in 

suffragette epiphanies, as lief, rejoicings from her

merits chest. Ambit in gatherings, of the pert hems

of space, tuck to breast their select stories, those

hymns forbad, where wiles debit, the symmetries 

of the trace. 




Am I walking the verge, flange or featheredge,

edifices of handiworks, or offspring impressions

derivative quay, in the moveables of time? 


Disembogue, the variable beads, weakening 

hiss or fizz in the ferment shaken, debouch in

strains poured forth, octad, utas, the ear twist.


Banishment’s emission, in gushes of feeling, if

issuing heart perspire, exile erasing the tissues 

porous, fissures lonely tap, in the way rivers. 


Despairing equivalent, in departures of ford,

filters of the immigrant, foreigner accrued in

secondary estates, groundsel endings of the

second self.




Blind mustard on errand, calling works of taste,

bias sobriquet in misterm of pseudo savory, falsifying 

those twists of Fino lemon, to alloy strains of flavor, 

in anamorphic caricatures, gained within the shade. 


Satirical parodies dabble the mixed ideals, of turnip

too Tabasco, anointing bewildering announcements 

of over state. Tinctures purposeful, to the gullible sum,

season additions of butter and salt, quell the qualms,

misfortunes mistrust. 




Inertia, winter solstice and the dilemma of water,

scaffolding of premonitory cautions, when liquid

becomes land. Once the warm gesture impetuous,

left laud the hand, an the unwritten premise before 

applause, is now but the frontispiece, the cogent

augur, in interesting sorceries, of the over hang.


It is as hatchlings of glass, from omen sands, 

riddle in pestle stone’s, of minatory crimson 

maturing! cultivation of the avant-courier in 

construct convection. Summations rigid river, 

or patination’s of heat, predetermined oracles, 

alterations, both predator or priest.




Sjofn, natal sister of the personified moon, bare

born the Mare Humorum, asperges interest in

the sea of moisture. Feminine caesura in triune 

of sepals, vigil shrive the braise crescent coming,

to triolets of theatre.


Ra’n prioress the fierce aspirations of the sea,

her bewildering spring, separating from gown,

the garments of June. Missals of the maidens

scrolls, unclasp their ides of anchorage, for

maturine figures, idyllic.




Forbearing Isabelline, wheatear of the family,

Muscicapidae, wot blaze of blue, in cleft notes

singing. Intuitions inside the mirrors artesian,

flights acumen, the pressures bequeathing tears.


Suffices in vinculum, songs in the fall of parish,

catechumens flying the purse of ween. Tacit faint

towards the white cloud, stride and standing, in

the baroque flora of Crocus Kosaninii, idling ere

sweet, the wrinkles of hillock, and leads meager.




As cirrus and sun apprise to wink, vanities of

light combustible, auspice romancing the wild

fire, innuendo impeccable, in curvatures of mention,

tidings ignitable, kindle infinite, those cues of cloak.


The warmth of suspension, as the vase of clouds 

fill, in loving eavesdrops, conjugations between 

sol, for sky. Endearments productive whisper, 

impetuous impellers unbounded, announcing, 

masteries buoyant trust, in boundless seminaries, 

as unctions embracing, soft, immuring  showers. 




Appendices dalliance in eventides of valentines,

furthest intrigues in elevations of tenderest arc,

of consummates pampering fuchsia’s, ever eager 

Coquettish, compositions finale, in every way

the roses bend.


To plighting the troth enraptured, storms vied

by girth of stem, embellishments of either court

or glance, affairs clerestory capitulations verse

beside the morning, each zealot within sensory,

teaching, budding it’s bliss.




Dereliction, abandoned, neglected leaf litter on

the chink chisels of lichen steps, unleveled bare 

banisters, remunerations in remnants of forbad

color, places worn smooth and soft, once by hand.


Disjointing strains run the through mourning 

drape, fractures of layman speak, of the broken,

missing stern and sternum, the willful injuries 

of glass, showers of impingement, as visage deem.


What once gleamed of love or beauty, of the sun’s 

ray of swords, flank headboard of ceremonial brass,

sounding yet, the daunting gris of tin, framing

bowers to middle, bedding redress, to brands of dust.


Vases of ruby glass dismissing upon the mantles,

emblem tender cedars, soft waltzed, once through the

fires, tissue ample in filaments, as embers stroked,

the face and flesh of roses, drier by watershed’s, sky

bound thirst left to choke, final tears of petal memory.




Ovid clearings in window’s frost, thaw from the candle,

pilferers of the gate wood, rummaging cold, breathing

through surrenders, the white flags of ribboned lips, and 

shortened veins in the brow. Sheets of ice that bar the

doors, of the burning homes of February.


As waters freeze, northern, in forms of maidenhair ferns,

the forest washing bracts of Onoclea, throughly through

the damp glass, foehn glazing it’s surreal flowers. I scribe

milk lettering, warming discourse, the browning read of

papers, last friendship’s of my companion words.


Beyond the door, the rooms of advection frost, beautiful 

etchings of mares’s tail, settling it’s noctilucent clouds 

over the piano, guilds of lake radius mahogany. Spindrifts

of brisk brume or hoar, outline the rose’s purslane, of purple 

damask. 


Grams on the willow staircase, climbing cloudburst 

towards the black domes, snow coating the stone walls,

liquid laces of fettered chill, frost on the sterling, icicles 

bounded the wooden horse, the later equinox, barrow 

bar it’s windier wish, home.




Graylings lavish near the mourning cloak, common farriers 

of the embryos of Eustoma, or airborne wings of Echium,

carriers of the rudiments of May borne gardens, wisdom’s 

blue aery of Daedalus, plait to cull or glean.


Benign begets, the light headed rose of Noisette, christening,

incubus after damp, the hybrid of adorned habits, the earthen

lea of tome. Weights of soil brightly summons, the memoirs 

of habiliment, the pleasant leaf of victory, grown beyond the 

shale. 




Laic kenning the tarn, by seed of early autumn,

will unfasten in the spring, to find their roots 

are nearest the loch, so it is of armozeen. The

lachrymose of still born winters, thin to crape,

deep mourners quicken, in requiems of nenia.


I ween then, amongst the letters, for fastenings

in suspirations intimate demerit, those cunning 

tears, that dry to salt, burning the suffices of

the widow weeds. Literacies which murmur to

mimic, the wail of epicedium, that compliant in

the sounds of fire.




Libertine’s, purblind, insular, the clannish bewildering,

might faith the false clouds for fog. Monuments given 

the prejudice of mountains, can be catachrestic parodies, 

ample commissions, paratragedia of mists, steaming

misappropriated by blunder.


Satirical burletta, lovers who draw the deepest breath 

soubriquet, widen wrest in falsehoods of Buddleja, 

misrendered as hyacinth’s garbled ideal. The heart is,

beyond influence, it can not render provincial, the alias

ambiguities of malapropos, or err it’s hazes, wanting




Armistice, solipsist to the calumet, grams in tarnish,

the brass of the eye, galosh, the cheek in rains, intrude

to reach. The writhing of lament, capers the nettles

bent, in every position, soft spans valise, the bract of

yoke amends. 


Incubus times, when the ephialtes of prey roil and

repeal, the hecklers of wisdom fault or fail, mishaps

in cloy, of Kalmia trembling. Something particular

to the daubs of habitat, chagrin more eager than

martyrdom, will feed sweetly. 




Collectanea, cuttings and excepts, fugitive citations,

leafleting between the papers weight, compendia in

the flat coerces of reiterate books. In dividing niche

of trust, I prefer the greyhound in the lash, clippings

of lace gloves, parasol in hand. The partnership of 

intercourse, taken in custodial, pressures across the 

range of Cranesbill geraniums, to the turbulent tumults

of Cotoneaster, consigned in body politic. Vie in the 

metaphysical, parallels besetting mercies of stimuli, 

event wine in charters concluding Eucharist, requitals 

of howbeit, lessen diminishing, the brides of spite, 

notwithstanding.




Dimidiate, halving mite in the branches, cageling 

sighs of the Blueberry finch, light de-airing lute! 

Beginners in the clay, wishbone in the crotchets,

season where the middle leaves of Crocosmia are

flounders found to be leaving.


Along side or furthermore, the summoners of 

inequities, the piquant motive of Zephyrous slip,

espousal notes of beleaguered ascent, halves in

cross-pollen of sorts. Amid the donations of

ardent love, hedge the chorale beside abreast,

desires false interjacent, heaving. 




Commitant mournful among the cellos, what must

I become, to find stable love, rigid in core storms? 

Accept the fact that I live at a higher, steeper grade

of emotions, built at the apex of frenzy, frustrated in 

mayhem. Life in the lamp is maintenances for most,

some correlation of between flame and wick, mitigations

in oiling, that I am unable to access. The waters that 

are unrelenting, capitulate in these eyes, I fall under 

and beneath love, lost in the waves, as transitory,

fracturing mast, listing bilge from sail, I succumb 

in seas no one can shallow, and searchers fail, at wish 

of follow. In each of dreams, a dash blisters, truth

demanding the evidence of cuts, destinations are the 

splinters, fragments skin of moons, left in gales 

faithless wanders, crescent lights of crescendo, forever 

in the dark.



Faultier frail in the poise, fine fingers in the chimes,

nomenclature in brasses of grail, where senses begin 

to read, andAconitum is woven, through vespers 

physical verdigris, her kiss of sunders.


Brevipennate, the briefs of widths spread, pollards

elided time. Rive in the breeches of tender cordovan,

that spatial part where the tearing cleuch the eyes,

rosebay mourning, lost caesura of grace.




Shillaber, buying the bonnets of light, nines of the

cross, increments of the shield, platen in the letter

press, that cursed before the priests, the burning of

interiors, where the candle has worn thin. All of

mock orange where the sun was spilt, gold bullion

in fields that have fled, carol only sorrel, in the gray

wicks.


Vertigo in the stumbling forward of the Ginkgoes 

leaf, fell faint to it’s curls, through the winds of 

matron’s wing, fathoms pulp remembering furls.

Dreidl of the coppice, those grounds in turning,

the underling of green fronds, to it’s bases silver, 

where the mizzel forms, the rondel of canopies, to

sight the veins, the mists enlarge.




Away from light, ceilings pressed in wax, private shadows,

scripture by locks, pintles or bobbins, margins in her wheeling

clouds, feedings of ghostly gulls. Flatness in depths, shunting,

elusive infatuations in grist of the game birds, hammer’s copper

to the nesting buckets. 


Listening marionettes on hare’s head, as something backward

in white, trypan in red. The lengths of frozen clothes on the 

rinds of aerator swans steaming, the leaks warrant of violets,

perse of breathing from the tea kettles. Her history read in

silver, strings of gosling feathers but tilt the crest of mist, weight

in the waters, weeping, three o’clock her eyes.




Speaking on paper, in upgrades of feminine thought, 

of the coming revolution in grommet of flowers. 

Elective thinking that self contains, kingdoms more 

cotton, occupants or rulers, of eyelet archetypes.

Eloquence that names competitive equanimity, in

besting lifts of spirit, neither words, ballon and pin.

The rivalry of the individual, strivers yearning in

the crow’s-nest, sentinels loquacious in ascent.

Powerful derivatives of intellect, of non-warring

life, ladies academic, whose ideals do not fall down,

lounging beneath the muscles of men, but an active

acuity in the pious of the peace!




Safsaf willows scansorial, floating on ascensions,

beside the estuarine of reducing sea. Smaragdine,

sweet weft in sounding weather, the water in mount

glissades, of the upright horse. 


Ibis waders creating false sapphires in currents of

isamine blue, restructuring white wings sequential, 

adjourning it’s fluid orbs of pearls. Summer’s Mitis 

green, reassess what is porous beyond the dreams, 

structures verdet in the holly, patinate in the seams.




Oracle of the niello nightingales, capes of bayberry

mourn to dark sylvan, cello winds through the 

laden branches of Larches, as downcast carols of

false summations, condescend. Littering wings of

the Elf owls, providing feathers, to carriage the

soft fall of her terrestrial tears.


Anima’s slight fingers coursing strings along her

silver ascot, humming, her chorus of why, motions

questioning, the empathetic countess, ethereal where.

Eternalness, forever beginning, she is but the winding

truss of first springs, sojourn in asserts singing, soft

gabled snows, in leafless bodies winter. 




She trained to Archipelagos, as insular as the occupant

view, brine in seagrit, unique summations in shoals stride,

capricious in caressing the manatee grass. Hers was the 

variable wave, of how we move when tickled, neither the

timeserver of hesitancy, nor plater of compromise.

Salient lucidities green islandress, somatic beyond the

commonwealth, bare faced rosettes of unknown or

uncommon rosaries, imagery that milked conspicuous 

daylight. Freedoms beyond nuptials of benediction, her

hymenal right flaunting latter records of confarreation,

goodwife striking without alter. Elegant and audacious 

intellect, speaking first bud, carte sur table, civic desires

beneath the watercress, spacious patent, the earthen

offices of naturalists.




Less garment in the rush, faint daughter, of Queen

Anne’s lace, amendable kiss of Persephassa, slim

diminutive lost within the millet. Offering’s of her 

will, white cup to gregarious mint, everything of 

brilliant emeralds, in corsets clutch. 


Flavor in the envy, readings of chervil, between the

chicory and the plum. Winter-creeper nearest yellow

root, vintager’s namesake in sisal of sibling quarrel,

query, why are your savor, as some thistle? One is

the simple quest, mere hostess pleasures. 




Volte-face the earth rebounder, rota in the stars

of candlemas, mal du pays, the moon burning,

clearing in the shire, cantons in the garth. Leap

year in the thwart, gainsay the galaxies born,

empires of silver in the sovereign of sonnets, 

Abell’s two seven four four. Blushing mantel

stammer rubicund, waning to countermarch,

your drop astern, in seas of double wheel, 

expansionists thinking in minor mirrors orbit, 

as the monocle of the universe, widens to it’s 

looking glass. 




There are those who scuff the joy from the citron leaf,

contrarians who number and grade the ambergris for

corollaries of subordinate scent. What commandment 

is selected and cut from the garden gate, is sized for

drama, to wilt in tarnished silver, reciprocals of neglect.


What is the minutiae we call hope, in the tiny homes 

of newborn rabbits, a question I dip in the baby’s 

bath? Tepid rise the salt from the earthen places a

child grieves, cisterns fill to pace of tears, as reality

breaks the beautiful, breathing windowpanes, as the

feather’s touch, slicing through light. 




Twin window latches, gazetteers acquaint, most types

of Gillenia, as pairing hearts appraise the light. In 

those glances between the admonitions, the greenskeepers 

of the life flowers confide, duets of white, all love sees

through, portraits widespread behind the glass.


In the certain shape of the pianists hands, the brass

hasps are opened, the snecks unsecured, letting ample, 

the sophistry of parasol flame, impart stable cues in 

curls the sun impress. It is the adroit of naive summers, 

carols of Rosaceae, phosphorescent, noons of lambent

seams.




Kinkozan wave, kamsin wind naming the lift of clay,

what is mortal Liana at stay, the cadence of arabesque 

complexions moving, in first flinches arousal. Thirty

two fouettés en tournant, trembling to the crown stripe,

the ordering of fluid narratives of aurora borealis.


Gliders of the array, where the Whimbrel plié to water,

the more demanding chasse’ of sun or Polaris, will of

wiles, as the whistle splays the tongue. Satin in the hard

bill, subtle sanctums below in lines that crest begun, of

grayer marshes ardor, between mignonette and violet.




Crease in the sky of sea, dirk lightening priest the silvan,

wring out decamping cloud, mere everlasting, hegira,

through, the flood of moon phases. Heraclitus spilling

thought, by hawks of Harlan’s race, tempests quest 

tender, a single leaf assuming, vernal entry beneath the

cork jacket.


The embarrassing hopes of corrigenda, buncombe in 

the eluding splash, armozeen crumpled by storms tight

belt. The tidal tip of cotyledon, is said to have crushed, 

in the rushed breech from the hail, ice varlet the barley

by the midnight gale, paladin unraveled from bunch,

mounts to stand.




Memory is skin and bone, transient keeper walking the 

concourse of it’s house, a scrivener in the atom of details.

Time being more breathable, in mechanisms between the

main wheel and escape wheel, in muscles these given clocks. 


Integers integral in keepsakes of thought, intonations of

equivalent feelings, or homes believed forgiven, remain.

Relevance enumerates, clairvoyant in tissue’s testimony,

reconstructions pea-soup through physical pain, exacting

precise nuances six by aught.


Recollection is an accessible current, a mnemonic diary

each of us contain. All the barriers we wall in, will be

made naked, despite our efforts to resist. The minutiae 

in calendars of distance charades, preemptions of will,

efforts assuaged, we are written within, phenomenal skills.

Engravings of minutes, eternal casts of mortar, in form or

making, of clockwork stories, the mind is reproducing, 

the body rebirthing, our orient of exact hours.




Vagrant in Alaska, distinguished from the Sprague’s

by voice and by streak-less back, the Pechora pipits,

terse the fields on tseep. With fine lines above the eyes,

it notes from the edges, Hachijo kan suge sedge, yields

of consideration, for configurations chaos, of the winds.


A variant songs of paler ear patch, the Melodious 

grassquit softly warbles, warming tongues of chibiri-

wichii, yellow collar besetting it’s subtle lunge of throat.

Royal in it’s wing bars, it pleasures full the brambles

or the grass seed, softly breaking instincts silken sinews. 




Sages exceeding, the morality which is touch, mind

cultures radical march of intellect, in ideas of sexual 

benevolence, the faithful egalitarians of cultivations

reestablishment, of nobilities, in equal means of love.


Corrigible custodians of acuity’s sensuous, not by

mattresses of Iscariot, but strong quorums facile

disarming, two of Townsend’s solitaire. Impress

of the susceptible, engraving sensitive perceptions,

moving reforms of emendation, pairs in foster of

Perianth structure, Magnolia warbles even refrain.




Calefy in needfires incandesce, sultry Isles empyrean, 

such celsitude, dune meridian’s hummock, soft eyes by

sheets of light. The Partlet befriending it’s ameliorate 

wing, as exclusivities that follow the dulcimers through,

her bearing flame. 


Ingle lambent, apical light, exaltations fell couchant,

reclining prone, accumbent prose in burnished nights.

Touching disciples follow aural, hearts mid-ground in 

hearing, to mend in cure the ungovernable sounds, in

guide to fore, her heading songs.




Tamping silence, quavering oscillations in misguided 

nonesuch, of morning haste, belle to rush, of the femal

monarch, adducing brisk the foray hour, to fracas brusk.

Cloudburst beneath the garment, all banner in paling 

paces enfilade, fretting cavil, this peace of dawn.


N’er a flinch through steeplechase, before the dew is

gone, impounding to fitted mathesis, a dose of green

glens wide. What gashing of shuffle self, is scraping 

canaille citations through the crocus, insurgent piquant

before sight, queen consort, is conquered by flight?




Buoyant bursts bountiful, the beautiful boundaries of 

Iris x hollandica, in bolstering the engagement between,

garden bearded Juno and Indicia. Brooking spring’s

svelte soft swag, to first magenta, for amorous sun has

assumed by greengages, it’s sanguine initial, the lea by

mid-morning date. 


The blue bottle fly, beryls more gullible holly, something 

damascene in the story, sizing moons, if no greater than 

pearl, pruning Cat-berry and Dahoon to smaller faiths. 

The shadows laughing beyond the long horn Salvastra,

holograms proof, of fleet digging bees. 




Namaqua Dove, Godling when the rope is done,

the green sprig trembling remains, beyond rigors

tongue, leaf of graywacke forbidding song. Spirit 

of red clover, left hard ground, to vessel jib wings

or gennaker, it’s divesting globes of warming sun.

Colleagues of Neptune and Devine squires flee, 

from the cruel crypts of Caryatids, linen cords

where fury forces love to flee wicked men. From

where they quickened, they harkened to heel, a

child away from the home of fire. Onus to the 

guardians she flies and settles, when strong hosts

sleep, laying but beside quiet hands evergreen,

let to hearts where she recognizes, something of

aubergine in earthen chests, hearts yet to beauty

beating.




The quiescent sun beside Emily, the occulting light,

portending hue to carry, in moving wink of oaks, 

niche ponceau, patinate, the faint pink of idle cheeks, 

the closing of Carcel lamps, on her contemplative life.

Emily hears in chrysophenin yellow shadows, ofttimes,

quorums the dandelions speak, vivid carols to beckon,

wrestlers in fondle breezes, their feint wishes to settle,

in the constrictive custos of tea roses, late leaf left open.



Felled tree leads on drake-stone, it’s Gilliard dry bone,

playa in the salt pan, Weald want it’s reaching wish,

holy water. The last priest of the head winds tarnish,

silver leaf to nickel foil, sash and robe, off of soundings.

Followers in the mercantile, turn upon people twists,

in cubic lattice, lead glance, hard sheet dusts Galena. 

Ingots ironing creaseless nickel, satin Monel metals,

haystacks of galaxies, passengers skies, our bodies be,

bells of sling-stone tries, our brass tails weeping.

Her pyre fume to begin, the burning of roses, eager,

to a height beyond my hands, tempests to lackluster,

singe tears before they’re char, praying to cold life,

her petals dried blush, angels of white caps wonder,

what tin… this time?


Steam to it’s hiss, spit in the eye of indifference,

boil the money of exploitation’s cream cross,

you lathering wallets, whose business thrives,

in pearling away the gasping breath, of millennia.

She in her nest, that in it’s seed, castration’s living,

beautiful, embodied art, decorate in dead paintings,

artifacts of real entities you compromise, fictional,

autocrats, cross pollinating, more grease than rats.

I speak for the dirt, may it cough in your face,

the dinner’s you thieve, consume own, toxic carafe,

let bullfrogs and birds curse you in their prayers,

futile employees of next meal, I bee strung, rage.
