tree revolutions
poetic sin
mangled fertility
sadistic blueprint
managing my PTSD
i put on your ashes
as if with a knife
i have come too close
and must now retreat
back into the wet grass
my whirlwind of delusions
the wind moves slowly over me
as if burning me
a Wilhelm scream
one has to grow one's sex
June at the gumshoe of chortles
it's a sound
the yen
all those tools
pray your attention span
axes the land you pulverized
get the net
to shovel the
world but if ever
the listless sun
inadvertent self-harm
phenomenological stoma
"a world of wounds"
methadone sludge
"surrounded by fear"
lazy pirouette
unbalance scale
hunch truth
fulcrum touch

entwined hours
walks away

glistening chores

inorganic flowering
restless strawberry
painful rain
schoolbook whispering
uncrossable river
banned trees
straw waltz

lazy star
vast directives
miniature eruption
weakened prophecy
mass-produced sentiments
political highland
adhesive peep show
