THE GEOMETRY TRANSPORT
  
 
Training for a transport
of turns and time-skew

should include pre-notes,
practiced angles. Traveling

songs to bloom correspond-
dence: I sine you, you

circumscribe me. Let
the tools of our Hyphen

War be: quadruped-smell,
hand-breath. Long on

the ground, late at
the gorge. Tooth-lit.

Leanings aren’t weight-
loss biscuits, nor tendencies;

they are vulnerabilities.
I left leaning

against your half-
walls—something

to remember me down.
Geometry stutters, un-

leads its mechanical pencils,
stubs to eraser-casing.

Who slopes along
inscribes a slant for sniff.

THE CARCASS TRANSPORT

my camera makes       : a must of us
                                       : “for posterity’s sake” your posterior skin

You might wonder how a man who’s forsaken helicopters takes
his agitation. And he would tell you, resoundingly, exclamation
points—another version of trying to fell sleep.

let’s go the other—aperture a letter, animate a script
“Mayakovsky’s house brain”         I want to make a muss of you!

but mold clots / the two-dimensional captures

THE BED-CLOTHES TRANSPORT

  
should we fall
for fan-
blades instead

when temperature turns
suddenly from the window
to sunlight-tussle

(chalk-trail, string knot, air-tether)

we switch pebble-lore
for letters 
days in match-burnt aglets

(ink stain, engagement)

is it really so
arbitrary what

assures us
in late July
compels us

to give up bed-clothes
for floor
scarred & hard

wood against all our skin
