1377

tooth and nail

certain pictures

tea till biscuit

hatch the thing

push, stitch

prevail upon

the how it is of postures known

when we come along

fall back into

it’s timber and it rings with teeth

you can paint through a thing

under one colour

find feathered

from long ago

it’s like

and it’s not

sad if a face would show

foxing for

reasonable expectation

under progression of weather

here to not know how to mean

but go as if among

the uncreated

certain pictures

catch fire in a rhythm

so you only sing

all defiance

have the music too

no ear at

but you sit it

bliss for

certain fish

have had this swim

you’re safe with such

for finding words

a landscape came of it

signatures deep

just where we are

some pictures

are torn and tell

keep caption

often

but the sign’s lost here

artful to be

some come out of a machine

and never seen again

hang whole

and keep the cadence stum

because there’s no last line
