Maroon prow . path out to set, so tempting to test
stroke functions nonbinding : peak at cards in hand
shade; vagina fables . the native stub bridge long suspension.
Endurance knows the drills.
Booked . hotelling island
palm rubs best flute glass torsos; aside cell signals . bald
head wrinkles keep double scotch downing the evidence
of rivers and rocks. With custom ties loose into pods
or pools of our iguanas slip pink hips.
Eve's faith leaf dangles . maiden night errant bitchery, since
nobody’s seriously watching pale flab go beast.
Slim shark
threat, seems Okay time being to anchor the beach umbrella,
toughen the wait.

A fish
crow flying in from the sea reports our egrets nibble high
price waste . you can’t mind step their hunger.
As if too
tired to grieve the surf returns broke ground crates . refrains
fit for song.
On your shoulder dragons in tattoo I know! you’d swap
for one sound thinking conch.
Why not now! you
keep wrestling, whose pirogue is that ocean bound ? wake
to iron rudder . contract tracing.
Shore cruising ends, sun risers dress again . so please
Welcome blue yield curve space . circuitry, for all get
tested get to fly home. Here back weary,
Seule : bed access code, the winsomest cabin.

QAT
L'ennui c’est qu’elle aime son travail, being good
At it, and people White and Black let her get away
With murder since she’s so hotly good-looking,
Fashion-beauty an all-seasons pass, sometimes,
Into the blackest anti-blacksnowdrop heart.
Even those women who are jealous of Qat
Of her influence on their husbands and sons,
Can’t quite help warming to her for her open
What-I-offer-is-what-you-need style of handling them
And their problems of adjustment by money,
And other things only women talk about
(from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan)
