Roadwork Ahead

if you talibate //// the wall which is a lens
the door //// which is a sieve //// the {house} which lives
in a hat, what

will the tally ban?

Nabbed beds stabbed full of animal headed beads?

White water caught in flagrant scenes of romance
and fragrance?

What tally was there when the saguaro came to bloom
and stopped the thin orange line that was nowhere,

a hole where feathered breaths
nabbed beds
stabbed full of animal headed beads?

What is not animal headed?

The lake whose ruby shadow is emerald?

The divine is indifference personified
as the indulgence we leave stabbed into animal bedding.

Architectural calligraphy
or elegantly designed spaces have never been easy to muster
but I never needed to claim

divine intervention

[too soft]

invention (as a general property of this place)
might be called

intervention
so as to highlight the contentious quality of its remainder
with vent.

The birdsong
which is injected
among the above mentioned

sparkles out
between wingbeats
ontopofthem

mefthroyooptinum
ip-oppodonsuerlasupissinil
ala nibterjulalagruhishti

a growling gem loam
is mulling your hide
in days

and dazed nicked
with nights nachted

[detour]
