a dragnet

comes up--

a sample grid of

shorn simpaticos...

waiting to fit into

the ripples.

of an unreleased

maritime report.

as if fore-harnessed,

by the indisputable

anchor of the Atlantic.

astroturf--

paving a surreptitious

city.

blowing backups of

spotlight.

without incident.

candy poppies shooting

up.

melting into helmets

that peer down.

a quartet

plays across a

horsehair.

(you can't even

see the bow coming).

despite the bloomage

of attendant instruments.

a pigeon encasing

its chest.

extends a bassy

trill.

shimmying on the

lid of a dented ashcan.

pecking in & out with:

yellow/red/blue marbles.

(in no particular order).

classic Wonder bread.

treetops pass their

basket--

light to the nodose

pit of round.

pillared trunks

sprouting into one

another.

come maximums of

height.

contoured chione

apto pnuema...

hand off touches of

wind to the ground.

paces apart--

luminosities meander

as necking streetlights.

cuffed aureoles

hysterical with laughter--

slinking deadpan destinations.

as a delivery person leaves

their mind on the wrong

doorknob.

an Alaskan bed

sprawls out its

mattress--stuffed

with drifting crystals.

unwet by watery ratio--

though made of.

powered dry.

a bed & breakfast phone

rings...(rotary-rude).

after dialing two yrs.

without a pristine snow.
