As/Is

nevercast the brawn midair indicatives

amid depreciating weather
slap on siding
coat the fort
decide who should remain outside

when in-comes-the-actuary
visored up and penciling
all yoredom: copy points
things to upend

once mitered "the way mother used to"
said the cluck fresh from a rucksack
whose immodesty begins to show
as a cappella versus

trees replete with beasts
and frail incipience
alongside breathing beestings
and their after-lore
