wet [2012]

  a sponge

thrusting barbed wire into loopward pinholes
isn't aging     or a matter of destitution

  seventeen syllables are made monuments to harm

while conforming to a monotony of character

                                      how might [       ] confront these fountains?

                                                 a towel

expectation is a cork-tuned bearing     enfolded in paper
as a bramble and a bunghole lie soothed and outstretched

  it is natural for patterns to shade the wilderness lip
and keep the curtain of motion in confidence

                                      when might [       ] drizzle onto heaps of we?

             and when itching night shrouds the principals and the page

and the actor assumes his role
the space is an amendment that must be agreed upon
before daybreak spills into language

                                            or a cup
