From shallow long spoons
I & ---’s eldest daughter
each slurp from the one bowl
warm broth & hair
of the dog, the largest
matted chunk pulls taut
between our lips & teethingly we
inch nearer to a kiss
communion of, meeting of
our tenthousand floating stages
——— rival to what we’ve done
under the table
Spiral wire hammered flat
on Domesday writ
Mary, curious horn
Saughall horn, curious
Mary, curious horn,
Davis, Mary, curious
Transactiones Angl:
not very thick,,,,,,,,,,,,, curious
not very hard,,,,,,,,,,,,,, curious
well proportioned,,,,,,, how
excresence upon her head, how
like gall of the willow nook
or clay cancer bone rime
a page a time a moment
a word a book
stabbed through
with curious horn,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,, a letter to
,,,,,,,,,, a boy who
a wanting
awaited
attachment
Lilioid tepals dried, delicate thread
The petal turns the finger to touch, how
the aphidhole she burned with an eye,
How......threadbare
&......overlapping does
with light through
xray, interior structural
emphemera how......jack
in the pulpit, bodied
boundaried, glowed beyond.
