A Defence of Being, second ana

 

from Of Beings Alone

Made concord and easelisms

on an enigmatic agate beach ..

in pitting the lidded animals

schtick against schtick,

 to unbodily eyes

poured the dark effusion 

deserted meaning

 yet preservation of daily

phantasmagoria 

twixt our fingers

to pull fruit

by means of our  benign   

need for profundity 

and who in all evoke

coughing and mingling 

with primeval 

elements

the last body

of them all

***

Time-porn ..

strand

the illusory body

its oddity 

left slippery

at arm’s length

bid farewell

***

We run on

 rumor and 

 advice from 

children

locally you

write

spherule mis-field or

deathmoth, there

only as

times 

underinhabited 

***

Tugs of addiction

anyone’s lamprey

slowing to angulate 

those noon dragonnade

 meander less and lag

spangly the prevalent curlew

with merciless elegance

 exudes a beacon

such that translates

color to music this

splash-down 

commonality

at a naked wall

***

Let the 

germinal 

portray

intuition and dignity its

ekeing murmurs ..

forsake even sleep or 

savored content

sciential sap sanded to its

erroneous past and

sophistry of mind 

looking behind

 involute plurals of 

seduction capital

***

Our antecedents feigned too,

berry lovers 

come upon humming grass,

watch the Void,

spatialize room in the

fire
