Love Poem

 

Take this toward summer hampered tempo
you will evolve legs bearing other night armour
to be pressed memory vaguer departing head
among these solo versions late ichor sorted edge

The hair part of song length opening credit status
let flow solid as warning new and hollow black
hand again stepping clean on hope of ádept
annex the light become clear balding surface

Our story back in the sonar dip tank
by which simple sketch article twelve comets
pale criminal rest easy is over cautious
the rest is grateful.
