one of those seasonal approaches
caterpillar stains
ever working intervals
larger version of me
doing larger routines
absolutely anything
so long as it's empty
glass mug
half filled with foam
a filter
an amalgamation
for a more or less
constant crime
funny little side road
up a steep steep hill
sad premonition
of an even sadder fact
single spurt of red
in all that green
poked awake after gallons
of sleep
listening contrite
with bruise-colored cheeks
borrowing what already
bordered on broken
limping sentences
big implications
how many times does one person
need telling?

beaten beetle black and royal blue
failed despot shakes a tiny fist
but the fuses have been stolen
the bridges blown
and once routed
there will be no limping home
gave favorite testimonial
when interlocutor asked
"is yr religion utilitarian
or is this just a corollary
of yr defeat?"
faith and fear
quid pro quo
requested clemency
in word salad
when altruist turned conman
opened the door
altered the lite
and said
"feast or famine
bloom to burst
tooth and talon
rally then disperse"
sovereignty granted
with a caveat
new convolutions
new habitats to abuse
contortionist ambled up
like a spider asking
"are you still the same?
or simply a falsity that follows
the name"
muscle relaxers
mud blood and beer
before
next sophism
next treaty
both palatial
and menacing
this stopping point
this destination of
reprieve
entered a fugue like state
as someone kept repeating
"don't fail me now
don't fail me now"
this is not an admonishment
some things are just
impossible to translate
