A
Zip Line through
Kitchen Smells for Judah Maccabee
A witty
stereotype’s cross-purpose, palanquin of good breed-
ing, urging every detail forward, you caparison the wind.
A biplane’s proper shaming, in comparison, of zeppelins.
The
air involved in recollection’s angel choir, real and red,
you reared
the re-aired grievances of former lives. On cypresses,
time presses
like a ……… cat’s
tongue; but …………………….……….thanks
………………to
you, today is
…………… yesterday
in
sud-
…………… den’s
lap.
Around
…………… the
temples,
irises;
………………no
foreign fore-
…………… ground
rises
like
…………… .a
closet closed.
In-
……………deed,
the heartland
…………… takes
the form
of
…………… where
it’s from,
in
…………… .need
of
heartless
…………… moonlight
to
taste
………… impossibly
like
pear
…………… and
blue cheese.
…………… Like
voices on
the
……………breeze,
sunlight
of
…………… the
Davidic
line,
…………… with
notes of
oak
……………and
lemon,
drinks
…………… itself
dry to be
…………… .the
best in your
…………… .presence,
forget-
………… ting
what you want.
