AND BEFORE YOU TRY ANYTHING . JEUNE

 

           
         Heritage due filled stomach folds . frequency still chimes come
         nuh?   
winds stir up and about ready to hook the moment
         break water levels . swelling over.
                                        A pinch of rash, the cheek to grasp most     
         tear sheets show how splash dives miss the dot; whose blade
         harpoons the whale of one fine lime . fat luck with stern
         mountings.

               If you’re just joining us we’re at the Friday good night    
         Club that drives deliveries over primate bounds; stroke falters
         walk back to the pavilion for the tea sandwich munch . off
         the pad shag inquiries.

               For you, I get I do : a bird nest wireless hub . no clutch     
         purse lip tree kneeling | mini short little chips . who’ll conceive
         miracles with me ? thigh chafe triangulate.

               Trans wings now test curves; not long once the island
         boy hawk eyed Catholic plaid . hem touch was weep simple.
               Noël shop rite joyeux, Marie first time discount . add     
         Caution : after the cincture red unwrap senses find wonder
         mates unstabled, better left as riddle.

                     At play girl swings in the park, grandfather’s hand       
         watch checked perimeters  >  knot ruptures from the village
         snatch . blood gunbelts flavour.
                    Virtually it’s about whose past futures ‘ill, love
         calf ~ ‘uck or ‘all in, turret dove view.

             MARA


         This sweet ting
, Mara sensed, was really looking
         For escape-routes out of a sex-object fate
         In the state of affairs she’d been born into
       As one of its accidents of sharp hybridity
         Whose fresh blades needed something hard to cut through,
         That way to confirm their sharpness as valid
         Beyond the gossips of Literature and Sex.

         Mara, the girl’s shrewdest witness, was willing
         To expedite the failure of her struggle
         To keep herself free, outside of the tangle
       Of what Lessing called Georgetown’s incestuous despair

              (from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan)
