radio version

the public library of life
spread out in kind strength
binaries redirect matter
attention to the rubbing of
through the far beyond
where pure outside Chicago is just place
queen to a universe that just hides
already photographic, against hurt
the hardest sprouting
radios no longer
whether on the part
or humping at the training
the heat implied visible escape
joining the eeriness
my fingers wrinkle to last seeing
more birds than moths
still more limited and reckless

esteemed zine

white trash reception
lunar loner lurk shyly island
tempted to lacy cape
lies speaking larger truths
full wild trusting braver
from one to another
get around strident native
light blue once yours
vestigial wings
I won’t love you properly
decaying seaweed filaments
differing species on high moorland
twiggy and coarse
flightless mowers extinct
special twilight camera
alien mammals hiding the red bill
entirely by circling overhead
digging tubers harried knife edge
selective of the margins to a fault

trophy crude

strong scattered middle
mild Catskill lows
walk this ounce right tact
April halt in lapsing droplet
starts considered flames
found out ever of lilac
into well after could be
systemic indent district
jets narrowed check
range fewer crude
swearing bilge ends
uncertain Summer erupts
marks you met with the hurt then

Eastern copper

gross total inspect reserve
soap bark rancid even engineer
hoisting intolerable touching kind
lakes scan frost pass trot
partly petals pressed on a sill
Brothers Live Poultry Hero Shop
big bird shadow merging
chrome to flowerbox stray range
leisure record if showing happens
operatives dawn advancing prime
editions deep sing scouts
remiss white winter sea legs
look up stand alone
maybe shotguns someone pointed

lies in hiding

underdog copy stood coarse
tears tough makeup getting ends of salt
near rid of look out
concern on sin near hives
may larger scale attain reasonable ports
wasteful bless petal
hence douses
like background singers
received by strangers
guardrail ease in ass puckering heights
wavelength feeding through
Band Aid for now
the just rewards of how far
