Teasing the Tigers

tender is the kite
whose blonde wigwam gyrocoptic
egypt
;ooks askance through lenses of blood
and carmine petalled trea-
son(

ooks
are filling sonar
where the kite high
kitted the shack with effluressing
sheeb

tender kiteless string
your limp and shambling architecture
looks at cats
you mumble through egypt
as if you know the builder
and you wait for the beep
in your headphones

your toe tendrils drill
your alien tree alarms do not fire
kite system analogy redraw

in our balcony chairs
high up in the kite

Thai Venice kite
Egyptian bard kite temple
Kite washing eros
heavy kite earphone birds
toes kites are tender

and tenderly mending
what do you mean
when you say
what do you mean
what does meaning mean
when its amen name is e-mane

every hair on end
an e-kite on every string of being

the goddess in the wilderness
raises hands
the god on the bull
is torn to

kite

giant kite wannabat
marijuanakite

malachite
bathtub
kite

Ruth
tender
as a silken
kite slipper
eel

romantic notions
semantic lotions

go fly a kite
a big neoclassical kite
with earrings
and chubby-titted
out-house

a kite tombstone
is fitted with a monkey
who dives down
on a vine
to tease the tigers
