Radium Crayon Bandolier

Sara Sara
        an earwig hangs
                      upon your
                              upper lip
a perfume bottle
                engine
                      whose super-terrific
      scent
              is eunoia

lyrical and hunchbacked
                       sara
                       sara you
        club-footed
                   aesthete        athlete
so-subtle sara
              with your accidental
                                  passenger
sara the wild
             and brackish undulate

upon whom so
           many parasites
                         bestow
their dis-
          posable
               petroleum-varnished
                                   gew-gaws
      which echo
                   your name
                               in vain
      which are
              in fact
                       your manes
your baleful
             growths

            your treasonous and
                              worry-warted
                                               flagella
whose base
          is the terror
                        of seasons

O how pale and
              wan
                 your shoulder
holding
       holster
owning
      the
         radium
               crayon
                     bandolier
of
   wabi-
       sabi-
           p.puvis
                 day
                   Chavannes

wherein the
           bitter clay
                      is rinsed
in wildfong
            clatter
                    and municipality
                                     singular
such laissez faire
                 fundaments
are
   hard
       to find
              in the sparse
                            cruel yolks
of your
        astronomical brethren

yet..
and forgive
           the propaganda
                        of this tedium
which joins
           any persimmon

to an
    ocular's
            eaglet incarnation
