Absence

The other attraction mysterious
adhesion spectacular contradiction
failure examined by mysterious other
attraction spectacular examined by adhesion
contradiction mysteriously attracted
Spectacular attraction examined by failure
What becomes another contradiction
spectacular failure contradiction failure

Glasses

Gardenia shade
swims in pajamas
sits at the table
what's there
abyss flat gone
roiling in the back.

Back Now

Nutshell haunting
all exchanges
them they the plains
the mountains

small streams
sand-lined river
glaciers

Past Isn't

Broadband acolyte
wanting nothing better
than to disappear
reappear no sweat
follow vagabond trail

Milky Way gift
smiling with teeth
attractive gap

Language clear
where to stand
the line long
lots of cuts
not a place
but a state

Outline Daughter

Colors rupture sloppy water
reach back sparkling
to find unfinished animals

Substitute mother who wrapped
little machines hiding a wing
feather giving wanting change

Your name emblazoned gold
little travel trunk ship's name
Dogs wolves just outside
they love to work just say it

Acoustics

The words scratch against buy-in
complete even though the islands
were colder this was what to reach
to aim for in the long run
thought of if before so what
they say is what is happening
will happen the curve
back on itself just a little
