HOME COME TO COUPLING

                              
                 

                    Night watch the eagle prize titled, you dove breast day
                    maker. Heart heave not too close to his scout feathers long
                    
aloft  ̶  home  ̶  fortunes balding.
                                                                   Tier attired for mate he'll trade
                    our plantain rough stuff for chips and retrofits.

                    If your skiff never left its island berth he'd have his way your 
                    way not grained to stay. In sandals he might propose a resident
                    vista: you could do a lot worse dashing wool hat through the snow
                    bells up North ringing. Our bearing strait is not a site for frost
                    no cross road cues.
                                                                                            Besides, observe
                    how, sweet on after noons, our grazing office pens shut down
  ̶  
                    Islanda Nervosa, tide orange yields shore lime.
           
            
                              Friends fast talking might conceive a link with him sets up maypole
                    limb weave. Our suns need rest sheds; desire, a colony turning
                    cheek on stilts, could wobble to unattainable.

                    With pipe line accessories he'd front gait an invest in native
                    shingles, fruit fresh trays, a choice of shanty smiles; the root 
                    scent dialectals give off soothing travel scrapes of skin. 

                    My smooth avocado, he'll pre-enter  ̶  you not quite in the right
                   
position to (you) know  ̶  Silo maintenance costs!  ̶  skim cream
                    your prime till tempers set off alarms blow horn men hear.  

                                                                      Brace for it  ̴̶  his thinking dug in
                   
you sweet sour sap juicing; faith cupped for tea steep rounds.
                    Wait for it  ̶  rush come of sacrifice redeemed rewinding.

                                                                            Otherwise, time to remove
                    the moon boots  ̶  okay!okay!  ̶  time to poke the marabunta nest.

                                                                                     – W.W.

 

 


                         

                            
                              

    

                         

                       +ADD+SUBTRACT+DIVIDE+MULTIPLY+

                           Wanting what You are for myself,
                            the self which I forget so
                         as to want You, is like striking
                         flint against my heart's stone whose spar-
                            king greed seeds a thousand fires
                         that feed every storm we invoke.
