The clouds
"the wand the pond" - Al Ackerman
the wand the pond the strip flute spackled
hum geese shaking in the sky lip gate
shoulder )"snake"( )"clunk"( drip faulty nor ,should comb
I crumple ,snuffling in yr chest's "cage pillow"
,leaves a sandwich sail a scrammed oar foaming
burger use ,piccalilli sinking from the flaming boat
the pond the wand the slick loop spraddled
gum feet flaking in the pie dripped late
mouldered fake hump dip paltry door's mood dance
,fly doubles ,slumping in yr rested page billow
.heave a hammed rail a blang snore growing
murder loosed ,itchy blinking gums the "naming goat"
:louder dump the rod surveils yr eye's well
smell my furred veil sodden ,ah slumping clouds...
