Ladder Spoons a Kiss

Pigeon tweed summons noir hermeneutics
ghostly peel the inner passport armor
lassoed doorjamb scarf cabin jamboree
enough gathering syllabic churches
                flash of trapeze ammunition
                sputtered lobe set to tree bark. 

                         Mainly legs
                         stripping innards
                         juiced trunk snark
                         my lesson to the stovetop
                         that anaconda swirls w/ traffic light. 

Unheard flashy fabrics radar a solo festival
apart a jaw wiring mirage tentacle supermarket
                                                            some skimmed weapons
                                                            while others tore laptops
                                                            clear nightstick loudspeakers. 

       Advanced
              bogus illuminating
                                    trachea. 

Spawn tasting edible poverty cyclones
short a signature khaki robbery spree
only nasal substituted salt lick
first small raw landmark periwinkle lint
    fake a showing
    limitless backyard
                          retina fork
                   spoken choreography to leper paramedics. 

The supple flame cheaper than justice
curving after scalded pelvis chamber
                                              volumes derelict
                                              carbon monoxide
                                                              circus. 

               Drift        tourniquet
sleeping        suffer                    maddening
     wisps   of   sprained                   riverbed
to zero
arranged                       saliva               stay
                           inflation’s     attitude
          colored           corrosive          shiver. 

Mixed delivery hooked
spoken the book feasts
ready cold aluminum
filtered eggshell shelf
hurried climactic thud.
