Call for Corn Awe

I wanted to make something drawn from bosom You & I gemini'd, From the wells extract'd virginity untouch'd by compounds— Forgot to send it out, forgot to hit send, Hello, anyway, to perfluorocarbon philharmonica; Excerpt kernel unspool'd from wicker-dust'd basket of comatose bolts. Treated to alchemies together by you.— See: your recipe book dries off in ricin. Federova in Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2? You never listen'd to figure skater or Tertiary form. The works of others piqued In you nil, didn't merit any initial or repeat listening. Agglutinative stoichiometry perforating cold steel stacks; Attenuation, salve for keratinized eczema In rash bloom ignorance, requires engine Ego. Franny: flâneur are you ever not, Rorschach metallurgy whorls, snowfall: You draw the flesh with bloodless busted hands & Tetanus blade; harmony's impossible. Your compass knows only passerby when misery May be by you increased. Tartar soul Nucleotidality, unadorned rose, inkline crack Collarbone transitive property: Hemlock Dreams C++. We shared failure to manage Being into a life ordering its living dead, pit Mine. Still, your bauxite soul below Mine's bottom-most floor Evades any operation of recovery or Refinement. Croon of your mystic everyday, Tributary whose water levels are skeletons Of those who briefly met the castor bean oil Bath you've drawn (supply & demand). I want the all-night evenings we shared to Have been a preview After which we aborted. The mama of you—That Kingdom a fantasy I'll never Know & chimes windless night of You & vast infinities—scion of necro- perception. But overfilled by dead enron relation of you. Let Pacific bury you in blue, magnify A thousand shades move barefoot, smolder. Vermillion skyline churn, no bill it teases Hourglass funnel web whose trophy case's A trove of bodies, electrifying you. Here's the megaphone For a stadium of victims for whom you're sorry-not-sorry, Drowning out your pain with sentimentia & The burial of any remaining joy left before The victims succumbed from simple proximity What, with that appetite for any calories —husbands good calories once drain'd— Even those who somehow made it this far Together there in sacramental oak roses Carved into confession chamber, situated Adherence, permanent web & nest, hourglass Red haze clouding widow's window night watch.
