lapis order lapis totality braising grazing
lapuli ripples with your fear of rejection
i will hold the mountain and despoil
all that you own
and charged batteries
are stocked with the willingness
hang on to the smooth stone and patch
the tendons equine massage therapists
manhandling strange puppies
before
work
tongues are abject hanging coils
illusionist burl
the peals of acidic spit are basic backslides
mediocrity of spirit – handing the damaged goods
the teen-aged soul
over to rage – infested
stupid men who grab and pinch
and fart into pillows
the things
they do
with fruit
