LIME SUCK TEETH HOLDING GUM

             Leaving herd hangars virtues scramble, the family
         gasp ring can't reverse eggs after the shoot | high alerts
         instead
bystanders hoping some time quick a job
         opens
for endocrine home rewiring; breach closure.
                                Hind leggy innuendo sways like from this
         jelly good follow texting a faith big wife / they would later
         deny any knowledge / about inbetweeny head ducks.

                                                   Okay, #Snowfarer my dray
         horse laps drop markers ! but you know what I mean.
         Take off those skis.

                                               + 

                                    Back stage as means watch moves deep
         end, unnoticed mostly; though village rumors confirm pass
         overs of devotion, thighs tagged bitchy rubbing dry hurry
         powder away | winds even . as old sword beard Haroun
         drops by. 
                                          Beaky keen
he’ll pick ‘n’ poke about
         anxieties, Who’ll mat those knees?  Not every seed starts
         pod packed; he’ll tube squeeze, like for Hajj circuit
         ambles.

                                               Don't estimate him . under most
         advances sweat the partum wet of mop handlers;
 indifferent
         tiles slip tease.

                                                +    

                               On the one, jump or cleave, desire requires
        no co-sign innings ‒ without which we’d feel identity cruising
        screwed | otherwise! tropes will loop any berth Hold! | put
        prize
 flowers out; bend resets, Mondays East West.
                                                                   
                                                                                   – W.W.

 

         

         

             

 

           
 
          MARA

          Of pain and rage a pure ingénue could have
          Hoped not to experience, nor even glimpse ‒
          As though seeing were seeing something outside
       Oneself (Mara soon caught the academic virus
          Of ex cathedra impersonality).
          *SOMEWHERE else, Mara could pay to do the trick
          Of delivering us from evil (some, more).

          By then there was nothing, she felt, she could not
          Do, even if only to prove that she could ‒
          Like people who travel all over the world
        Only to advertise where they have been and not yet.
          She, not exactly a millionaire, knows that
          Expansive habit will undo her at last,
          And for that moment, she keeps a poison-flask,

          Plus a sharp flick-knife, just in case and don’t ask:
