Alice Thru the Dog Door
white all across, small dearest sentinel
reaching index of fingers die
some would have the moon wasted four-star as
the pair of stars in Moses's brow, as
the blue socketed from your chest, Virginia

they lift Virginia's corpse loose from slobbery feast
tell now the not-touching paws that Eve-apple me so
that things goodbye'd at back of night shout SHUCKS!
all we boobs beheaded on shallows, charm'd, heard rustling feathery
shipframes bereaved broken and grave, run aground

slipped gravity fell grumble side up, you went skeletal ONE too many times
good eggs like you have noses to master speech, yet you slung that ink foreign in...
watch now where your hands step, new animal, startled critter, you Virginia
startled to find yourself critter'd, write one more word & I'll give you an exoskeleton
we're all in it together and there's room for one more, "knock knock who is she"

O your new boots have light roots, you were never too far away
I'm hell with this blade, I'm a useless puzzle dead favorite and forgotten
did I not once have a lengthy dream about the word "AND" ?
and grief soup however stays the course, some then switches
those put under never sound & love myth & whimpering, "I tucked you Virginia into animals˜

losing mother-like, 'neath the moon they fall, feathers white dead, who're loyal as dumb beasts
nothing, nothing, considered as passage? multipliers claimed to like SUBTRACTION
though do they not live only by the nightmare of the word "AND"?
when I've built you, Galatea, Virginia, you will speak, I've carved you out, built you, SPEAK:
"something is going on here but you dont know what it is do you mr hole"
