the sentient flies
ison
cycloned in glass not suffering
pieta

a lamb
ducking through clover in flight
is other than covered in flies

and the slosh
of alembic solutes
dilution of methyl in wine
and grooves in true with the plane
wing in
the awesome winging and
lingering

the quickness
gulls load into moonshine
slack arc but
anthers of four stars mute
in the color of lambsblood

porpoise white petal
as day stoned
the oval
brightness
cloak of precipitate
thrum
