SPOT CONFIRMATION . CLEAN SHEETS SWEAT

 

              
           Evening up hill^holders fade . near end claiming
           what's left to disclose ? valency low, secrets
           breast^cup secure |
pain ‘n’ pampalam at peace . park
           pigeon feeding.
                                 
               Which doesn’t stop our Admin
           sage wood
 masquerade . despite bad dreams
           that snap
paunch heads awake | spouse sheet^tug
           turning.

           To be chopped 12 times . thigh ‘n’ breast . one 
           for each position^wish denied | those foreday
           dip plantation^like quick eaters ! always the same
           damhungeringthing . Ow, clenching.

                                         In band aid chapters signal          
           when to feel love^done mid years fact fat
           facing . the belly work submits. Some day blinds
           doubled could
 tap tap . belief again | Hi, neighbor.


                                           

                                       / Meanwhile found talents flare
           to impress . good show! off star^shell platforms.

                               Think for one evening they might dress
           receive old ketch^fire dragons ? our Wilson H. or
           VS. N.

                      / Earthware done page them fellas . whose
           house or palace cursors blink . for islands or
           the world . links unique frozen | memory once

                          EDUCATION     

                                The student ready finds his teacher
                              and the first thing he learns is not
                          to share his eurekas with other
                   students whose readinesses are not his.
                         They have their own recognition-paths
                               whose paving-stones are not his words
                          about his : lesson of Babylon,
                    camp ground-school of essential loneliness,
                           limbo of immutual silences.
                                Past its loud labels he must sing
                          the Lord’s song, with no-one listening
                    but babes not yet born to no-or-yes lies.

                      (from “Readiness” by Brian Chan, 2013)
