Waking in the New Year

Survival Transformation

pendulum targets pragmatic dancers
swollen fleeting down the lifeboat floor

*

a crux of water / walking on wood  
where piety boats follow the blind
rafter diffusion essential theorists

walking corollaries 
leather-faced, dead-eyed

parallels in consequence
reach a withered crescendo marker
buoyed sequence to reef

*

infusions needed lay no claim 
to finite darkening / their talk

breeds encapsulation shutters
chancing dogmatic interludes 
caterpillar etymology transition

*

morphology tactile as presence

in form or manner of discontent




Increase in Direction

rudder placebo tactics inure
federated tax rations from 
pillbox allure stations passing
travesty bandages bellied
past leaking feats of renown
a vantage known past giving
leaky memoir facades intruded
on welling masses encasing
voluptuary lace and massage
embracing furtive sex bandits
in transaction predilection pits
shifting gears to transition tides
mud rising to practical heights
where radium artists dream
peptide auguries in rebellion
the nodal fury seams ripping 
sure passions decreed impure
where practice barns evade
rapture sessions turning rare
under every pelota template 
inflecting caterpillar paper
mushroom fandango suites
play appellant apertures fixed
in garnish cream slathering
fluid emotion tentacles prey
summer ensures blood dreams
no amnesty packets allowed
domestic infusion bracketing
sure as practiced a cappella 
wipers hood their ornaments
before living applause clasps
future swallows before breath
takes a year to harrow its toll
exchanges relay cold affection
toned the penalty box fiasco
more to the rolling grasp oiled
beyond mention or standard
deviation eunuchs assemble
pantry lies that slowly inhabit
parchment reciprocity guidelines
implementing rabbit precursors
under stadium frontage laws
passed in rearview mirrors fit
to stage an ampersand colony
accord gauged treaty removal
supplemental labors rescinding
the hold on where the profits sit 
much nearer than the rearview
offers for its unpaid hindsight
relived as memory vacations
narrowed to a blink and wallow
rankling crossroads motor events
where baking canon fodder meets 
a slow delirium mix banking on
a shore curve resembling hidden
angles to simulate belfry chatter
timing the clinical mix to fixation
rides aching in the saddled more

True Class

Epidermal factotum cluster

goitered rumors bared below

the gusto meter. Clairvoyant

as a vacant shredder climb,

the mustered stealth depicts

canceled aficionado cults.

Embossed subtonal rapture

sheds hidden currents to

mirrored dicta. Matters fed

to the misconstrued grew

abstract from data removal

at the outlet. Gaunt crossings

rout the decay with tactful humor

shared as wealth. A message

relayed the act, approval shattered

the retrospective somnolence,

moving the total muster to

latent centipede clatter.

Slowing the act of gathering

breeds the needed hovel insignia

who dare a shared display

of absence while the shadows

cleave to labors of the caste.

Moebian Rerun

to the hydrant 
where the tickle corps assembles 
its cleavage, 
even there blood tanks have meaning: 

an indelicate casserole
rushed, ahead of caloric double takes
assembled
for the graffiti pit induction

conducted
heirloom dividend porch vents.
Castrati instamatic,
roomed with isolate vocation, stammers

a camera. Enamored
of its polyflux intake, stratagem’s
savagery  
at an influx date’s repellent humor

acts charming as
flying a cursive meat bandit
bravado
multiplied by accessory tangents.

Freely modeled
scanner panels flashing darkly
pass returns

as if they were slowly going

Depth Surface

cranberry mystic placebo infusion
metropolitan transfer umbrage 
thickets patrol matador infusion tanks 
partial avenue casters litigating
subtle membranes adage nostalgic
felicitations and fare well despite
inversion tactics breeding reversals
as Tantric onslaughts ticketing lumber
managers at adornment diffusion 
seeding next breed of errant seminars 
at fox seating aquarium hostels
where attrition folds need with 
confusion to confiscate greed 
for admonitory proverbs linked to
selfish gerunding untimely slights 
of matter or presence as sentiment
or precedent allowable under 
incidental scrutiny insights lacquers 

gained from veneering greater depths
