Gradations of Color

Hydration day’s a month away.
Online belonging company’s an hour from 
startup stardom. Titration hors-d'oeuvre 
Viewfinder pigeonholed 
to rooftop tourist 
traps ruin’d carriage holy woods 
Hollywood's margins, Carousel 13. 
Things You’ll Bury: 
molasses sourdough flowers crypto-
currency marginalia Lost (Bach set) 
ghouls in blockchain interdigita.

Sandy Gwendolyn Sarah 
Rachel listen to the sea churn wave 
encrust land's end 
to deepen their interweave 
a sense of figuration. 
Cluster moonitching for 
missions in lilalc loan depots 
& pine grove ketones,——not rose
maybe a geranium dandelions
20-buck solid solution:
selling weapons to a hopeful 
ally composed in their focus
televisual special, skeletal
forms modeling in trying on
of Stalin's trousers again.
That hail? Sometimes 
buildings powderize 
lightning engrains
carboniferous sideways rain  
titanium floss
sharpened velocities 
collaging at-
mosphere
& 
molecules 
(SO MANY CRANIAL BONES!)
storybook unfolding 
with each segment thin
 as single hairs on mare or buckshot
 photons from THE most efficient
serial mass murdering rapist:
(Such an inspiring marathon)
Really ruins 
the meditative break 
in the shade of citrus
where fornicating humans
exchange climax & body fluids 
where burial is denied the dead.
The survivors of those
made monstrous by invention, what
with hunger for sending
dead men to live strong (like 
Lance) by killing by being killed 
to live for that dying to live a life
where living's predicated
on killing the living.
The sex is what exterminators
experience as intercourse.
The eros of mutilationist 
necrophilia is an agate against
bodies, mountainous mudslide
holding chalcedony bodies
rapturous sex against which
an army of virtual prostheses
accelerates along
parabolic destiny of clonic twins
murderously fixèd
but elders 
gathered under s
aturn's ellptics
in baobab redwood walking 
palm forests wet red earth
body fluids blood sweat 
armpit hips roundness gripped
wound perfect  
in broken 
halves fusèd
with the being of another
panting scratching thistlegrass 
rasp heavy breathing honeydew 
& kunafa aleatory making in a breeze 
punctuated bassitonalities, daisy-
cutter shake the softest scratch
of front center incisor 
down the lobe of the lover's 
ear hear them whisper slight wheeze
& hoarse chords black infinity
of night blanketing earth
