OVERWHELMED


Overwhelmed
an incident
of nest, rattles,

rare
incendiaries—she
shook the roof

back
cross wakes
shakes, recess ended.


~~~~ 2/21

HOMETOWN


Hometown
pride, side
of beef hash

way
of mash
and mashed. Fried

elegance
throughout, safe
in shade. Shady


days
ahead. Led
out of water.


~~~~ 2/23

INCONSISTENT


inconsistent
lee you
see it softly

returned
and imprecise
you sell sentences

in
the dark
tell it already


~~~~ 2/24

BREAKDOWN


Breakdown.
Heal up.
Take it away.

Say
the same
timing of shrew,

of
dew, fetish
lettuce, sorrel settlings.

Imagine
the way
seizure happens. Settlingly.


~~~~ 2/25

BEFRIEND


Befriend
max, lax
max i mum.

Lately
despair—
all been made

exactly
poke salad,
and barberries. Rock-steady.


~~~~ 2/26

AIMLESS


Aimless
and apparent,
errant

taxes
wash away.
Series made: aide

in
the kitchen,
wage of affluence.

Pay
to hide
the dishes, wishes

dream


~~~~ 2/27

CALL


Call
it in.
Juice the lemon

fragrance
of sweat
and shadow laze,

graze
on the
shoulder of your

dream,
sonnet to
discovery—dingy dreamer.


~~~~ 2/28

APPARENT


apparent
in sunflower
organdy dress down

sauterne
pool cool
fresh walks delayed

spark
apparent share
it calm sundry

park
parent simmering
apparent quietude shocked

~~~~ 3/1

SEIZE


Seize
the way
you walk through

it
circumference of
a dream, wagon

wheel
to a
dram, drop in

the
bucket. Fast.
Exact. Way in.
