stow and crawl
forced to cluster in the swallows
like you beaching all your ,dimpits
scattered fore your howling limb your
gun slant pullets crawling on one wing
low and gall
were you blistered in your shrugging
were you conquered in your soaping
were you balded in your pencils
were you clambered in your smudgepots
