AWAYWARD

herringbone basquetism
itten with yone winded grating,
sapplingh-ire bluing to
sow me the olden car is texas,
vending machinations
turnstile against miliwary
tar armsfacials,
theyme and timely bursting
gutturalterity jubisleep;
possibly interrosnaked
or begotten elsewhere,
the swarthy, drugged
fumigations
aghast chemforests
and bemoaned,
reddened burnt as
lambently smoking against
an encasement of diesel
fuel,
the tanks intertwine
my forgetemptiness,
and won now my hurting
as the spinning tops work
their waste inslide
and outerealms with force:
the foxes are forgedgotten
in bronze-simile filligrees,
yet all we see are
chasms and
pockmarked holes
between
vacant palms
and a broken star
