with a crisp, but soft, 
light brown crust.

The field was prepared with
thrice washed and cleaned machin...

A blade of wisdom, cutting sharper than might.
Not just whispers, but a raging inferno,
Lighting the world with the spark of the wise.

...O pure hearts, never forget my words,
When you listen to this pretentious, you give him
grain to be milled,
When you look at this fool, you give him

revealing minnows
wriggling in the residual water
they milled and turned
in silvered arabesques
choregraphed by a rippling wind.

Large ocean-going gulls

death row prisoners.
They huddle together
awaiting torsion
as the grinder rends

A scent of blossoms milled out by mastectomy.
The clippings praise and curse at the same time.
Her petals falling, weeping, assaulted, past...

Made fore my man, was a formless frame
Worked by a wombsman, unplaned, clear of grain

and illumination fittingly low,
set upon a table, its style baroque

Fingertips toggle milled brass
abreast a concertinaing leather.
Tripodal spread, pegged legs.

Women paused in pose,

soft serrated edges spill vanilla cream;
