multi vers [e] al fractal
consider the cavern of night to be your motherly blessed
w/hole the mouth called mouth out of which is born word and flesh out of which dreams birth death to dark and
light to passage and now look to the dark and warm worn in cavernous cradling
and you will remember perhaps being brushed against ribs being pushed through
pubic origins and you will recall perhaps all floating that is tied to you as
something through where and when
mark
the appled rhythm of yesterday’s forgetting & I falling
but sleep thoughts join me on the flow’s sunny flare & then the prepared
chartreuse mental scenting after which follow pink petals’ harmony buzz to a
kneeling song walkway’s cuticled sedum returned against a barred rampart to
ages drawing yes and where only in such a dream the crow flies you tattooed on
a poem
