Premium Member On Time Off Time, painting by Dorothea Tanning
Nothing burns, it just suspends, lacking symmetry at opposite ends. Arrested motion, drawing attention, important details, I forget to mention.

Sun Off Kilter Tanning The Wheat
Sun off kilter tanning the wheat— The crows broke into her cold fast, As breeze stir dropped its sweetness by The dark golden, her soupy flesh. From childhood not cooling like The sun off kilter tanning the wheat Comes a girl's faithfulness on skin— The atmosphere for pressing heat.

I hear the rustle of tree leaves In summer breezes in my trees, The roar of municipal trucks And heavy...

Too Tan Tess
Too tan Tess was what they called her But not for the reason you think But of a misplaced "two" decal Stuck to her, after too much to drink Her moniker came hard for her With an untanned two on her head She said, "Well, I'll just keep tanning," "Till it's gone, this two that I dread!" She tanned more to cover it...
