PICTURES CONNECTED BY A SLIGHT FESTOON OF RIBBONS
When the ship is in danger, a bell can be the
most familiar
sound. Traveling by coach or the disastrous
locomotive
refinements of mind, the idea of winds, of
important
motionless conversation, the mouth’s wicked
noise, an internal
sensation of ten and of apparent fever, an
alcove of Lear. To
voluntarily dissolve before a lesser lens,
to bark and blither
till the end in drunkenness, or a cottage trembles
above
the snow with a surprise like joy.
HER PLUMY CREST
Flags are in stitches, factoring out the latest
breeze, the “she” of elation.
Our spices puts us down beyond the trees, even
something simple can be squared to death. Among
the other
jailbirds we sew the book, we pant out the
game with
corrugated sealight. Even if I don’t write
it down, I’m just a
form of tuning. This latest window contains
your face, abstract
of terrain.
