, light imitates pressure / the way you grow
into season        
   undesiring

          / god parts

me a roost       dialed up
a cow                 a pal
a past milking              the drapery sheen

, light imitates pressure
what do you make of our             chances

your beached body

can live thru it

lovely

puddle the street


, light imitates pressure /

 osmosis     a temporary pairing
current inwards

we began to dry out bodies

, light imitates pressure /     object of red           release of full
motion        cut the line
from the buoyed fish skin              sing a vulture         sing it sluices
the gutters the sewers the lakes the rivers the evaporated eyeball     

 , sing siren sing the

                          thing and

 and other

, light imitates pressure /          brought my skin

the reliquary with the most good

  premonitions cooking

over over    it

          is a course of

                                    similar / shade

  filling shelves your current options

  lay the day and flesh

 different

  eventual froth
