Coughing-mind

coughing-sleeve ,rut you dampered
loudly labbed your screwy soup sdnamed
,wavered in the load lunch or blog leaf
burning – time to stummer some ,or grash

hops your mot e and gleaming

rough glock ,spraddle boom said ,pinch
a float sample ,pry your crash
faucet dreaming ,was that yr shed
nuts glowing ,hump and clasp yr

spots yr l ash trance sprawling

nor gushed and dropping peanuts mind
nor blood and filling bathrooms mind
nor rocked and grinning laundry mind
nor bashed and hoarding lengua mind
