the word is celebrate again
tufted fuzzy with foreshortened awea fantasized emblem for stargazing tenterhooks
open your disheveled community so
a makeshift paradigm can sleep its way to the top

glory bee and hallelujah honey
a frontline occupancy terrifies the odalisque rep
mainstay cave-in vocalist opens nostalgic interpretation chambers
after advising salutary mobster refreshments
a pop-top fiddler-crab hermitage would envy
eckankar welcome ceremony takes note
of the western brain hemisphere
a selection of fine irrelevancies
a turnip’s alternative
poetics of gesture--or was it gestation?--
overhang the gas station of pleasure
5/17/2021
gallant intrusion into sacred space
the automorph weaves selfing-words
that leave attention invisibly invited
the arrangement to flower relentless
concentric rings of concentrate-forms
apply mystery to organic infrastructure
