wreck remembered film marks lifting a window

then enough is summer develop sounds apart full &

hinge a crown hive for lavender unlatched from

otherwise winged & what refuses sheets a phantom

story to marsh derailed from here

regret botched glazing lugged sparrows a

constellation from apology fields exacted backward

keeps a finch & slows scenery borrowings

used as forwards on canticle a propeller

pitch missing & narrow might a building clown particulars

cracked behind becomes this garden camera & smoke

unbolts equals pulling points applause city improvisational

a cloud landowner forgetting music inside

storm opening a crawlspace against & rusty an exit sign
