Vespertine, finishes of the nyger seeds, redpolls in curfews
of evensong, I lain the tear of sugar water, mater favor,
emittance falling in sear of hiems, St. Martins summer,
Veery losing the practice soils of evergreen.
Spine in nesting places, white scales of Townsend’s
solitaire, leave no verb for cockshut, as black Celeste,
Cerro hawthorns, watch the last fruit of stars, seep from
exposed slopes.
Candles by post meridian, let or chill brumal, placid,
equitable, eves of sophist, level true, the Cormorants of
breast, had years sung, the moons that would bale plain,
the amenities of heaven.
A land of three candles, a hamlet of thrice reflection,
cynosural meridian of ghostwritten lights, ciborium's
ecdysiast arras.
The coterie blaze disequilibrium, mismaidens of Helios,
countervails of juste-milieu, peerless colors sans pareil,
mismatched uniforms summit, the radiant lanes of
shoulders.
Peregrinator, wanderer, chicane the lading oddessy by
stevedore rotary or boatmen of Aquarius, expressman
flames of Iris or Hermes, divot wicks of impedimenta,
violets of airworthy carriage.
From the heat that softens, by way of the motile sun,
I found Wax Myrtle’s, and the Slippery Elm,
the Fox sparrows preferring jubilee’s warm
prepared fruit, in the fallen clay of Bessey cherries.
All gray catbirds when it comes to sleep, in half shades
of summer limestone, Pine Siskin’s singing convections
verse, for Broomsedge Bluestems and Fragrant Sumac,
Scaled Quail resting beneath Gambel Oaks.
Stream edges portent the blush of Creeping Mahonias,
as Cedar Waxwings eat fresh Toyon berries, or assert
to drain the Canyon grapes, or band tail Yukon Holly,
I in arching, graceful spikes, keep to Golden currents,
of a spineless sun.

before the bridebed’s touched.
She brought her flesh,
in benediction of blossoms,
Trillium Catesbaei,
Sweet pea Erewhon,
such was her rib of flowers,
single among trigamists,
her wedding knot before good man
her tribe ofAngelica gigas.
The spirit shifting in its chair, evangelizing
the light, apostatizing conversions for the cloud,
comportments reflexive, atavistic.
In route I see, transfigurations of hour, I
do not bourse by glass eye, fleet metamorphosis
castling or requite, faute de mieux.
I never came to compliment the hail for rain,
nor do I supersede to make sunbird oratories to
recommission the night, I revival time!
If weed of feeling, browning clethra, phrasing the
hills, or motile lowlands perplexed of griefs, don’t
braise to curse upon me bitterroot, I rise and fall
the timbre, as the lands of earth.
If I minuet steppe lands of the lea, or dead march
beneath the labored cloud, should I pibroch argue
the tempests of Lydian measures, or turn to errors
of osmunda, the poet will by gavot winds.
What I consume of Lorelei, abet or instigator,
soubrette the winged seeds of autumn, or the Nine
terrestrial to mull from height towards marrow gar,
it is mine to lesson that stalwart brook, or somber
cry the wrens of chortle.
Ava Maria, plighted children seriatim,
comestibles for sacerdotal,
parsimonious terrors,
a clerical mist, tier above the surplus clouds,
in squalid human head upon the Erne,
what the relics preen to devour,
gauntlet crosses parry, the teeth of the
helpless.
The word made flesh, skin of lambs,
may the merciful bare down,
the vine repute to tangle,
proveyors of such deeds, to console
by swords of logos, or bright Paraclete,
fell Martello towers, or knights errant,
the unshielded by the sharp wings,
defamations of counterfort!
Spirit, a breathing, past labels whispering realms
of temporary art, the earth delicate rests, memory
it’s globe, the good object splendid die’s innumerable,
in the departures of our federal consciousness.

Repellents defy with belligerent temerity, the mission
words whereby scatter, the heart for dozen doses,

Chartreuse thrones, marrow fat peas,
curule chairs, snap pea crowns,
erode patriots of the onion,
the apron stages of fly galleries ,
patriarchate, suzerainty,
scene shifting, sand politic
hegemonic absolutes in finale of ideals.
Short lived beside the redwoods,
majestrails weeping,
anti-abortionists on the apron stage,

the millions flesh you will murder
when the planet fails,
hoke act, woolsack robes,
comedian dell’ art.

Before I kept promontory the clouds,
prior the dele of biretta, heart for headpiece,
every early missive beneath her wrap,
breadth campestrian’s or sweaters leaving,
her suttee messengers of Arbutus,

counterfort the buds ado, metier’s,
more erect fountains.

ideal cuts speaking your argal,
vary bowls of crystal patella,
shrine of portemonnaie, or caissons escritoire.
I chide, confute legatees
quills of quittance, these heirloom seeds,
donees admit me as ledgers follow,
your rebound salvia.
In dexterous night, your quivering candles,
dalles rush rostrum, violaceous,

The mantuamaker kept notes inside the gauntlet,
Deianira’s shirt, trews to ponder, some thought it
a curl cloud, but as enclothe I bedight boa, but the
sizing of ulster felt the fog a bit tight.
The brogan seemed bindful boarding the Pullman,
somewhat chopine by way of surface, whip-louse
by tone, but fear had argued for the journeymen
thoughts of channel coal, and course grained hopes.
A touch of jupe, or sola topee, all cardigan and
petticoats, scull caps weary by lid or eye, Brutus
wig, the shell box and the opera hat, though the
waistcoat shadow was safe, taliped was the husband.
Will I find exemplars orange before I fall, contiguous,
dematerialize the evanescence of purples, a silhouette of the
uninhibited, postures of the veneer, who will gather my
memories, deportments of illusion? I for the mien external,
a jaspe trait, a marking, I was never a shape, ends before
the perish. I never resurfaced, if one has held chatoyance,
in lockets of embrace where I vanished as motion, or I
decamp from formation or form, where was I real in the
excursive or thin air of love? Feckless upon the dapple
horse, or the water silk, verditer greensick, to an arbor
below the earth.
