fire grate cradlering the crate withstanderers
crate withstanderers agog through pallet slivers
the singular rook with beak with a beak through balsa strips
split tacks, staples, this and that string before
stringmeltdown

squawk-noise but worse because through, because through
package standard, only package standard: splinters
and rough and liable to burst or at the least
split apart, spit tacks, spit black feather
bursts, durst the durous-world

splake. Screech wood too
which presupposes nails but no nail would get
through so optic nerves make bitter planes not better, yet
all the better to fool you with my dear, my dear dear box starer
more, far, far more starerer than could ever get used to crookd

so-calculus to crash-calculus into in too
to wrench please to wreak simpler planes
if any at all could prayers be screams be no outer
crane be, be outer lifting: here only a tip-shift to meaning
all rooks are birds but no rook is a crane. Look, the dead coals

remain.

you must know the finer art of what you do as: if
it suckers you into your own un-
covering: you
fluviowed back by
boundary duty. : we
shall have mock-fellatioed styx to jordan’s
redelineated crossing: we
shall have corsaged
some true: some loss: to former, firmer ground: we
have only tremour spaces between bibelot’d airs: and
lace: and how tastes the Host-tongue
in the morning, no luck to this
now: I
want to: rise from the miraging masque: to
card cord from heart: to part
at the sinistralled path: to
know if practice makes the sondage yield
pre-exegeted treasure: to
attest there is a greater test once you
are complete: to
ask
