(waves the language of fishes)

waves the language of fishes
the exponential trebling of foam

tender: their passings between them, under them
sifting, standing the soul's quiet rambling
may I mother elemental memory
map a more embraceable emotion

ever since my severance seduced me
I suffer from some serious misgivings

seemingly the masses—
I assume—
summon me
to the mysteries of similes

disgruntled fabric
rapturous truth

what beholds this new
beginning is
bringing both beyond
is binding both,

in a broken battered bed
is resting rattled head
& the opening of ocean

as the orbit oscillates,
finds poetry in pieces,
as the pulses palpitate,

waves the language of fishes

(tempestuous temptation)

tempestuous temptation
taste elation
amorous distinction
muse confusion
plate transformation
globe completion
time diversion
glow consumption
plain intoxication
pale plenum
vision vacuum

tempestuous temptation

(yourself consumes me)

yourself consumes me
a single seed sewn
the quilted majestic
tessellation of beds

yourself consumes me
