Another generation
these limbs
were thicker, black

stolidities flushing in
follicular
ramming, hunching as heaves

through day’s
(push-or-clink-or) gas
clanking illumined pull,

but late

reiteration rests
thin: papering
like a dry and denuded quill

now placed,

fingertipping skilled
reveries’ fickle shin
of teary, gribenes purple,

slicing smoky
sequenced logic
connective with, however

delimited spoil,
off of plate, spicing
cup, smearing pears.
