BERNOULLI

 

 

                             —for Morgan Lucas Schuldt

 


How long do you wait
in the station?—

| on the double page |
of day and paper | .

Original lines debriefed,
flighted.

Where are your own lungs?—
I wanted to ask,

some hours removed,
in a crazy.

System restore.
Withstand clear.

The feeling is painting.
To know you better.

Wherever I am walking,
severed trees

are light-shine clean. Rust-
Oleum can, rusted. Carpet moss-covered.

We had your bivouac
all set. You were expected

for a retake of your page. Familiars
“like” my little of little. We cannot, do not,

post your lickspoon darkling—
even in this botch of body
.

We do not post your titular
morticians, your titular coroners,

though they—severally—
O proffering nips.

Too punctual dartcoiner.
Littlest of us,

birds, overlook bits
of the littlest still,

red berries, some red not nipped,
no need for debridement.

Light of a clearing,
valour and act—

air—plume—here—
ventilator, your own breaths,

and the fire that thee then.
Too-too-too not where.

Tout whirring you hier.
Taupe plage widestnabulation.

Tout all leverage two spins.
Wear elegant stays for the vessel.

Words, your vassals, so va-va-va-not,
sail-not. Knot-wood knocks stay.

Yes would knock whose their? Yours.
Stasis budding in vases,

sifting for a banter. Remember
that time

that that that stamped?
Faster over the top,

air creating a region
of low pressure, thus lift.
