All these symbols
relics
of a past

threatened by threads,

shunned &
shunted

sign at the bottom
giving hints

label
these ghosts:
"iron wrought vacation"
"tricolor scooter"
"what collided with last fall"

anthropoplasmic
disconjuct

save it
for
something meaningful
working at a bank

trying to reassemble
torn frequencies

to halve
and hold
bivalve lover
my cherry-blossom
saint scaling white
blood-flung
tongue
tipping chairs
from their heels
face-first
forgotten forever
oblivionic temporeality
clutching brain
decidedly immense
swaddled in marrow-lust


felt which
example
was
kinetic, which static,
and possibly
errata of possibility
shatter-storm
of crustaceans
"maelstrom carapaces."


at this point,
no congealed soul
would swim
not even
given a glimpse
back into reverie
nor would
animals, microcosmic
representations
of selves, or totems
all of our trivial
collections
lose purpose

some one kick
out of this
dream

and shove us
off our stumps!
