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
