so old." cut thing cutting, electric
on your shirt's faded with
cleaning, beat between stones, then ride! indent
along her side and brush
her cheek and broke collar her pad
below her curve and on her hair
rub some of that yellow salve.

servant, all up in that squalled report run on

to the next stop all up in that gone

report run on. of many heads of sheffield, denton,
steel wednesday,
the inner harbor, the frozen service
porch, the floor boards, and broke house. fell loop, you paint
broken crop with mallet, tangent, tongues, surge,

service blush, wrapt in small withdrawals
