Unbewusste Orte
One likes to dance,
another needs to
tighten her wheel.
Every moment
is innocence.
They carry those little
packages behind them.
Shit is earth.
What motivated
“Machine Gun” Kelly?
Certainly not poetry
in that battered past.
Wisps of notes.
A wisp of a girl.
Feuilles Tourbillonnantes
Now I’m away from forgiven
the netted mastery slides weekly
on, offended robotic slur
presage Rommel inveterate clutch
shinsplint ideogram
Malbec gelding
you land on a silver
crash aflow with life’s
hum in squawks.
I’m liberally hung
to fry all time.
But you so bootifal.
Christ, thought he was
gonna stifle himself.
Cold jones it.
Running this badge
of security a fall
time. And you’re
with me, so no excuses.
This merits hand-held.
Thank you, kind
protectress resounding
exclamations of
harbored ecstasy.
