Docile on the flecks. In
which effete practice good sedition good
ergonomic man’s hot stripe of breath
unbent around a central stem heat is
the strapped lines of discreet dearth
much bedevilled such words are these
said wail on gizzards round a neck
hubris contemplating love my anodyne
sweet victor fresh one was t’come
gymnasium dread gums plose much
to lisp make me sterile with service It
kills customary excreta: my milk, my
absolute coil. Try educating numb tops
with a flick in a month of these, the deaf.
Brazed in a cremated one to catch
the quick sentiments or pursue her
on giddy streets, opening sudden points
or fastening to be precise / I was
actual, servile Man. These create a pose,
or trembles over water’s year, heavy
district by movement, asking for us,
wasted July bombs, this song, diktat
filing objects—heavy—into water.
for Matthew Dragec/o JOIE JOIE DÉLIRE
86 COPENHAGEN PLACE
LONDON, E14 7DE
II
Loins pop long dips
to mustard, mustard’s own data, my
ever salted love, dead singt, ex, ex.
Or the wisdom of plants, done worms
to explode the singing urge tops full-
flavour in cartons, munificent hops,
country drum, wed brown is dying on.
Edge dragged, no fervour, is it colours
hewn demi-god semblance of freed
clusters round my apple shell. Where
and what yoked searches? Coal aplenty
old frantic Depp, verily my housed
yearling, gunned for year’s water. Got
courtly wane by fruit & detached villa,
locate stuck plants for fruit’s hatchtop.
Back no London, is the high ground
he asks vertically, fingers twice to you
politely, but asking twice rushes dropsy-
pulse for me, he twitched at most once.
And you hatched Plan B, light aircraft
which sediment reached capacity on
Wednesday each September, that layer
flip tirade, circle lines around a kernel
in the cicada-month phenomenon /
were’t broken ma’am in carpark, heavy
thew stirrup published a new name.
And fragment settled the question: length.
And wrong turns were stemmata: growth
was fixed at thirty, mercantile years ago,
the brain outpacing merry saints, sick
on punishment by hereafter, burns type-
type relations, berry striated, red degrees:
Ye grime took tip, enclosed tongue’s lip,
wax in a specimen, heat rotates, lick
us for fragmentation inks documents
in stuck heat. In degradation’s violet,
to start on quotation’s route, to start
escaping origins, locked in your bloom.
Join, Locke slights our platter, head down
trepidation. Hereafter, nine watched.
Give impression: technique as deletion,
spins round the spiral wheeze no try.
