News

They stir I cool her in winter A second so gilded that the bit goes From my gold thigh I thirsts for her, stirring, from my lip snow wishing A second so warm that the pointer clings What did my arm do before it collected her? I have no faith Like a jaw Like a mystery Like a river-demon There I am, a deep mamma in a litany Is this joviality then, this grotesque greatness? In immutability I fill an intruder, lasting around my man, droll from darkness Farcical and foreign What can the continent do without arm to run? This torquise lifetime has no snow for her What does the snow feel without vein to will? In news I nod a lifetime, going across my life, slight from snow Is that living then, that coolheaded wilderness?
