Bonairian Oleander

Gasconading pride, Piste of the Purple Caribs,

this, and the Hyacinth Visorbeaer,

coule’ or ceding parry,

hectoring lampions imperial,

riposte rouges of unblushing flight,

swashbucklers of mid air,

lame’ picayune, false sparring of expertise,

éclat of feathered bacchanalia.


Feint flèche guardsmen asserting, down females,

in flaunting Cimmerian quests,

Mellisuga helenae, Metallura Phoebe 

Amethyst-throated mountaingems,

foil, fain or epee,

parleying tempest trysts of quintet,

the broad eyed dawn adoring,

luminous, clever rapscallions, 

and I the chosen guest.




Fugue of territories, Electra and the memory trace,

the walk to the pillows from the bollix of place, 

marathons over aroused, marcescense in loss of tone,

to locate the hawk which wears the brow of peace,

imago of meliorist hope, objects libidinal. 


Fabian in stimulating utopia, or melancholy in the

muscles of Pavlov’s requitable terrier's, questioning

if the reformed sky is truly legible, remit of lightening,

palatinate it’s due congress of heat, enough that the

sun will envy, the lancer less effete.


Similitude’s of dereistic compromise, tri-ped bursts

of comparisons, between the habitual and the fleet,

prudences in coalescences infatuated frictions, scribe 

to leap, if gold is briefer than the leaf, in summoners

session, which is central to spring or sunder?




Feminine grass figure, present in the crease of stone,

marionette for the horned lizards of sharp rock, arabesque 

in sea breezes, plaited waves of June.


Alfilaria combing the rhythms, wreaths of seaweed for 

borage, opportune of wild regents, Green laver, Chlorella, 

for the sons of symplocos.


She is abreast the Lieder singer, fortnight waits, hapless 

carols in lad winds joint trovatore, scatterings come truant, 

reeds Bouteloua Gracilis, Bouteloua Curtipendula.


Compliant those movements, soft redress the loft clouds

of raging river, empress earth in theatres burlesque, capricious

circuitries, sensual Segway, compendium’s fields of the

millionth seed, sedge and blue gamma, entice, enchant.




Miscellanea, florilegium, violet bibs of Oasis hummingbirds,

cloth of zine, letterheads of portent prayer, will you find

rib beyond the poison, so little to eat?


The Apothecary cloud is not coming, the subeditors river,

fails to scroll, the codex of it’s Aldine books, beautiful 

antiquities of billet doux.


Fortnightly creatures of the inkstained wretch, tales the

night blind render, devaloka or Hlithskjalf, devouring the 

timeless Bowers of Bliss, fields of Aalu.


Slipcases of numbers, self serving industries of Cyclops’s

the breath of Polytminae or the oxygen of Cedar, do not

spire bellicose, monetary dreams of paper!


Onomasticons of the atlas are angry, Ana must spare

the Gypsy moth and field mouse, stringer for the rainforests,

a populous of indigenous indulgence. must feint the empty

earth of fly leaf widows, errata is numbering!




Clairobscure the dawn of matte finish,

fogbow to the lantern fly,

finniff cloud of five crowns, subtle whilom,

the somber light of Merry Widow,

tufted glint on the brow occasionally cirrus.


Continue with caution as Clotho in the wraiths 

of wooled shoe, rote the land of 

scale, crushing the gray orchid, Vanda tessellata,

mournful list wherein, the cites appendix ii,

the powerful city of rain, girth of winds passing by.


I wanted to re-timber, orcharding, I

longed for viticulture and hoped

for market gardening, I had eaten of the dry

orange far to long, thinnest Kinnow and Ponkan,

storms this wine for barton, met or merit wet agrarian, 

damp demesne, this fall river home!




A designation, a tabbing, comes a name,

if I populate in aubergine,

crimson moniker, will the preengage endure,

accedence in the plaster,

grist in the palatines, where the olibanum begins? 


Fraternal broach of phratria, cabal of the

walking stick, on the gangplank 

of the catamaran leaf, to craft the boats of 

golden rain, myrmidon 

of symmetry, scarab id indulgent fraternities.


Jostle with the hares, for from the ground,

a new tooth is coming, dental

all the canines of the circulating table and the

rusk of rounding plate, take the chives 

from the meadow, for there is arsenic in the greens!




Time of spirit, when the fauna passes through the trees,

chronos found of gentling hours,

when the Alantides feel breast the reef, 

treatises of Sappenwood and the green anole,

as the solicitors solitudes, join the belonging joy

in trillions of the emergent one. 


The fools in alter crop of divergent hour, will chime,

beset the bitter millenniums, 

when the dove bares born likeness,

that barren of hate,

the substantial of lion and lamb will mate,

the congress of eternal, ecstasy will inherit, 

all providences in bestow of pain. 


I will find you well when the pica amends the cloak,

when all baroque volumes are read,

what the Airedales of messenger transcribe,

of the Oryx of the reefs, 

and sight sees the unknown colors, join with me,

be near to me in exhibit, chorus of billions,

what euphoria of sounding be,

what I hold of you singing, 

I will vine to your breath,

ardent, eternal epiphanies.




Quitclaim the roses, Fruhlingsgold,

 cessions bereft blemish in the practices of light, I pled before

Sceptre’d islets, the courses of water, clement in

her eyes. 

Figurines of Felicite Parmentier, the fragrance of

yes, sachets of immure, unbroken skin, certain hearts

of morning, before the paling of the greener lawns 

for Osiria.

Shrift to perishing, the comely coming of different 

habitat, of Alstroemeria ligtu Frances, this tuber

in burial of flowers, fells fleet from paradigms, her

passions A psittacina.




Effaced, obliterated, the Lethean preambles, here in the babble

of missing rooms, I carry a few stars in kerchief, those I could

find in the tunnels of night. sublimations of nepenthe.


I was a sprite for the trees, before I met the fog, prefigurative

the auger’s branch, forewarnings of Cumaean Sybil, Oak of

Dodona, fortunate auspices, though Lethe waters rise.


Tactile amnesia rosemary the broken bones, Thunderbird took

tape memories to Mnemosyne, for the fantasies of quixotic

muscle, trance of stippled ribbons for the wounds.


I have made Erewhon of thorough imagination, of promontories 

I do not recall, I Wicklow lands over none at all, mezzanines I cannot 

excavate, yet what pike should commit to dredging shadows?




Crowd of draperies, I too am public,

all the eyes Inverness,

prescribed view,

sartorial vestments,

disingenuous string lettering,

myopic blink of Frere’s type,

who beyond the Optacon?


May I find you, by hand lens,

by intimate spectatrix,

Belvedere beside dust,

I pace endlessly,

only covers of sealing books,

blindfold read to me,

kiss me inside, by word,

give me snow blind papers!


I have known Cecity, rayless night,

cuts of harsh glass,

abrade vacant votary.

I dream of entry, cogent visors

of opera glass, 

oft sweet grandstand skin,

to reconnoiter the heart of descry sea,

to feel more principally.

the facets clearer Eros moon!





Tracing our caveats of passage through kinesis winter,

in brevet snow our step of pi, to the pressing names it 

had given, Jinnish and Jui so tir.


Latter meaning this divide of stars, Jinnish bequeathed

as soft facets, compeers of the hexad edge, this transition 

nears the sno-ish tongue,*¥€ so drad. Each is a grave 

flower reclining, fallen spirits of the north.


Chorus winds of Snaer, voices braid Gaoth, notes of 

Champaign tidings, caithnin sneachta, there of frozen

breath, tree of each gifting greet songs of gelid oratory.




Malanargia larrissa in olive groves ltrana, 

O to drink of grapes Tsipouro,

Olyras Crathis wraiths nearby,

the bourbon truffle iris,

wings of Agraulis vanillae. 

fritillaries unbound ring of nectar,

Eueides Isabella.


Istria’s Iphiclides podalirius, swallowtail,

the Papilio thoas, courtesans 

of bridge flowers,

of the Tambopata river,

Euphydryas editha 

drink early frankincense,

of Christmas frost.


Menelaus blue morpho, Vanessa Cardui,

dear the tap house, Mentha longifolia

raising the sugars of laburnum,

to heights above the

chocolate mints of cacao trees,

Pharos Sunday,

Callisto Herophile,

Hubner’s glad-eye dreaming.
