Fresh New Order Of


1.


amassed
+ frightless


despite the leaden
evidence


+ what you may
imagine


(hueless)
(anhedonic)


until you fold
or crumple


or its sated
apposite,


(& by opposing


end them)


which is to say


breathe


& thus ruffle
(or fly like the wind)


(+ lie like a


friend)


alone enough
or not too far,


fine stretch of claws
& beak,


extravagance of species
(specific)


taking off,
swarming,


improbably clouded
as my thoughts are wont to


blinker off & on,
roaring like


an aggregation of
signicants


massing,
critically,


lasting,
mythically


stamping on a fresh new
order of finitude


inured to the high whine
of pain


& rusty treasure




2.


another song
(hung from a)


cobb=d & baubled
& let naught


get in


or transgress


+ finish what you
muss


+ missed,
caress the pate of


somewhat rich &
this estrange,


stretch,
fall in,


ministrate
locked as in


horns


as in megastore


as in this life
or wield,


ply the current of an
other


(&


repeat)
