incremental costs
gray luxury
starling’s pearl dress
embossed
what do they do to not get crossed
murmuration
coming down to black earth
while the sky is clouded & the fire can’t be lit
so quarrelsome & messy
while sparrows come
to accompany the queen
all these swirls & callings
boring pain in the ass
be my ally
while artworks carried to safety
burr & purr sipping away, this wild life
the endangered species
o, weighty lady, hasty
all your sparrows face me feathered-winged
of solid HiCS while slickers play mystery
“throne of many hues”
desert city floods & metal chunk crashing
take a corpse to the bank & say:
here is hank, a gangplank
who must be persuaded?
all these angry sails going against the rope
no shit
spooky cu i smile at your unaging face
neither honey nor bee but beautiful as well
sunlight of another time to hitch rags, ho-oh
once they danced this way
a violet of quiet heart
2 down nothing immediately clear
let’s wait a little longer to get the swan-powered splay
& “napkin dripping” bittersweet
o, these wonderful bell aerosystems, bellerophon
o, poor gadfly, poor thorn bush, poor spell
& all tortured departments
let’s run them swiftly through a week of geek
& 3 state solution & paragons
while dreaming on dark wings You, starling
while dreaming on dark wings You, starling
aflame, swiftness flaring up
so orange & so gray
& beside shouts
/though not from him
what else should move the shtup
st. augustine & barnum kiss
to “evil billionaires”
a snarling added to
no pico de gallo truce
o, all these coos
o, all these coos
