that

grappling the spazzle-grist
and new coffee-thick trapeze

then femur of thistle
musk drunk dives askew

beyond atoms and sapling
take the shreddy-spare

and bringway
the mistle tombs
or shrink

to the humbleside
storing earwise

ambling the crooky tank slinktop
in the purple sock trundle tent breath
by the river bench theatre
