Tendency.
Two foxes.
Never having seen a fox before, descent,
being next to, much less two, in light of the fire, assent,
being past the plaza, late to reach the coast--
never having seen one-- and now emanating
brilliant, and now twice.
Transposition.
Useless behavior.
The fields burn red to black to burned,
traversing version into the windshield, burnt boxes,
to say nothing of bombardment.
Specificity shattered the windshield.
Is that it?
Never having burnt before, having
seen fields, winged insects, to be a companion,
having fallen outside this movement,
lit, moving as if with light.
Remaining tangibles.
Blue to flatten, having intended to, much less temporary,
the clock called haste, woolen, having
met to flatten or smooth, reconnoiter, being paid back
a too big item through the mail, having recognized.
And then a bird--
birds, dusting, a set of pans, a mistake, a set of colors,
two mistakes, arrangements, having made one or many,
not wanting to, but nonetheless almost inevitable.
Insects and propellers, driving, impelled with or fixed was
with being able to say, inhabited by a view
in focus, to say a decade, being able to view over,
having come much less familiar, the way they fall and spin,
propel, but still familiar?
Wilderness suggested under a city.
This city, when pinned as if immobilized,
a hapless precipice, happenstance.
Peer.
We know now the sky bends--
not the water, not a museum.
The argument of a bridge unfinished so safety juts out
as if much less mobile drops down, as if better things,
revisionist history--
would it be better?
Having enough edge to form an interior,
collapsible, lights, rather an outline,
does not collapse, going out, but very difficult to ignore.
Horizontal anatomy, and further, and more,
and where color is few-- a gasp, a slat, not shapeless,
not named, having once given and now lacking, denying,
a bright light, a pervasive mist,
much less light, one red thing, a pump, one red pump,
watching, watching you.
Between being watched, having snowed,
buried, similarly, still.
The eyes being the only element, the deer,
still, red, the pump anatomically, eyes.
Bone marrow.
The sound of palpitate, feeling, the flurry of the number five.
Risen, it forms a crutch.
Cold, it forms a light crust.
What otherwise skids, infects, the longer
the bones, the thigh, striated, tract,
wheezing and frozen, wheedled, slipped over in a glass case--
five trees, as a replacement for can it be replaced?
Having said it, forms a skid.
Much less feeling-- trees extend, O gorgeous.
Two foxes.
Never having seen a fox before, descent,
being next to, much less two, in light of the fire, assent,
being past the plaza late, to reach the coast--
never having seen one--
too late, and now emanating brilliant, and now twice.
No one in sight.
Having become swollen, one-sided,
from where it is not raining to where it is raining, but misty.
The air heavy as light upon you, as bees, having been reduced,
the desired procedure, vibrating,
striated, as with knives.
The sea floor, not flat, not unseen, rushed.
Clinic.
Would it be better if she died?
Never having intended to name it, to call it a name,
would it be better to tear?
The police were called in.
How tiny pinecones clutter, skew the ground, or mediate.
There are no weeds.
Mangroves, having roots, luscious, or choking,
spread as roots as news.
National monument.
Of names, green rocks that don't keep,
stripes espinas, etchings, that fence,
consonants slurred, trade agreements, ocotillo,
handshakes, saguaro, invitations, cholla, sides,
asides, yucca--
don't put your hand there.
Wait, waiting to pull them out.
Nopal.
It jumps to get close, to agree, to punctuate.
Wingspan.
Passage, passing, in layers against history,
to call them stripes or tools, having left its mark, never
having flown, fixed nude against the sky,
fenced, wake up, never before having told anyone.
An eagle telling in a nude tree--
nude, the desert smelling burnt, awaken, duty without flame,
running, the eagle, right.
New things.
The sky, completely unashamed, the sky
underbellies, soft ribbons dropped
puddles, being asked directions, being touched, objects
unhindered, the red, the blush, overturned,
the faint, tilted, derailed beginning.
Having been forced, asked to rise, risen,
to repeat, to direct completely, to repeat in exactly
the red, reputable, irrefutable.
Suspension.
Notched, gagged, ledged, unintelligible.
Wait one moment please.
Industrial, conjugated, hooked, visible, all visible, jointed,
riveted, damned, to make or harness to a purpose,
having agreed, never having practiced.
The river underneath, much less moving,
not having moved to a city, bolted purposely to then
not be able to.
In other words, to be able to.
2 foxes.
Never having seen a fox before, descent,
being next to, much less two, in light of the fire, assent,
being past the plaza, late to reach the coast--
never having seen one-- too late,
and now emanating brilliant, and now much less.
In the present tense, in pleasure, pleasured,
tardy, much less absolutely, too late.
Reading it, having read it in an obituary--
her obituary.
We do not know quail at dinner.
It is like eating.
It is like eating cunt--
wingless, alternative remedies, flickering, failed remedies.
Not known, thank you.
On the body, thank you.
