               in bales               blond
wheat               under the driven
               fact of heat
burn heart turned
               some other way
beyond comprehension
as any soul or sole adventurer
might seek far or
               forgot to mean
meander to the mean
               behind the sole convergence

while solaria draw in
               light fare                shared in form

clockwork ordains pallor
               far from windows               shallow
                              light to read by
fingering a text drawn
               freehandily      quiet
                              at face value
with drawn quarter moon
signs the turn of
               who screwed whom
ever more in sorrow than
in escrow birds of a tether
               locked in or out
opinions mutually rankle
               holders of               friction
               turned fundament sadness

boulevard of schemes
               bigger easy gospel
horned honked all the way
to the tallest iron gate
               way ward as ninepins
varietals seize the eye
               by wayside after home
                              belies a nine
iron start kit                              lug nuts
from yonder
               squealing               brakes
all ways too late no latte
               latitude for this creamed
careering slide into fist
               flattened flick
of arrest wrestled to
               the burning ground
lids of lattes careen

the flat side of the planet
               falls     to cream round

               children step up
to plates with disarming
               singsong insularity

there in the nearby office
               breaks in sequence
speak to posses on the island
of a recent kismet
rice tossed to the well
               groomed pair of cake top figurines
so blended or blinded
               by the flight a flicker
of recognition that thought
               begins again too late
to lament the moment
               airy nothings sound
lambent surface of an atmosphere
               the skin knows
                              as if championing
a new cognition
               can softness ignite any
                              thing this slight
alight upon a surface
               tension trends shunned
while the sectors section
               off compass
compassion negated
               bank bailout sans parachute
face first into the pool
               pass go               paraprophetic
nocturnes leave tension
                              shunted for the nonce
vectors coexist with                clear
directions to the sectors
generalized movie tone
               deaf to the extras
ordinary lift of hope
               less insurance taxes
               other added fees

               prior fealty               to a way
                              of liftoff just a tad
off message   addling
whose minds inquisitive
minders want to know
               lodge complaints
but to what or whom
the new personages
               chartered to buy the answer
ages pass and lodgers
               exquisite in violet
and pressure blue        mend
               charts with song
and stipules                home
               at last
home at least backed
               the same way
ward loan shops
               stored blown slips
in lock step lack sleep
               non-union marching order(s)
cat splayed across side
               walk side ways
steps stones under
                              branches shielding
white      gray fur
                              from unison motion

cakewalk through the tune
               smithies burning over
                              time to go (down
elves walk closer to the cake
               each time around               a round
                              sung    yearning
and the runes spell rough
                              waters               one more
               thing to burn
a language made up
               or out word as
                              sentence to
sing sing sing play
               hard play loose

order in the court               tense prelude
               singular               lay of the landing
                              ardent need lays low
                                             until the till
meets veering
                              set minds released from ways
