BUT YOU WERE SAYING AND IT WAS A WAY OF SAYING
There is no order to the sea. But the holding
of your body like a file
in the cabinet the wave foams up as.
In opening. That was
a bloom as another called.
A curtsy of teeth.
You were saying in a way that cured
the tongue. As meat is cured.
I am meat and cured by a medicine.
The weather ate all. With its blatant mouth
of snow. Is there a fig of disbelief to this taste?
A disaster and an oar. There is no
order to the sea. No snack given freely
from the cape a palm flies out as. In giving.
No snack to snatch. You, dressed up as a pause.
We brained this together. Rung it
from brain-rag and hung it on enactment.
A camera differs from a fact machine.
A camera wrecks some face.
Fruit is not for a cold day unless fruit is
all for a cold day there is to fur a hunger.
