Sad Song 03:08
the closest mix that i could make to the lavender in my mind paled to a public bath and the ablutions there had and the steaming ham sat in the hot tubs at the Y downtown i have seen how tense can change quite recently and i say this not as a punchline to the earlier joke but as a whole note or at least a sustained semitone
2.
it is not necessarily true that something left with weaknesses will soon break a disposition to wring out rinds will still collect, speck by speck, yield given time or some bitterer, some blacker juice which, when tasted of, tastes sweet too some bitterer, some blacker juice

Pink Breeze 04:54
when i say it, i mean it in the sense of a thumb pressed to soft clay does that mean heat death? i doubt it it could still split the sun from over your shoulder but, "every worm to its taste, some prefer to eat nettles" and still the skin burns dianthus pink, and echoes what is fragrant on the spring breeze if i have called anything by its wrong name, i will suffer for my hyperbole like when i feel that pink breeze, warm around me, i know that i have called it "chill" but any wrongness is my own imbue when i say it, i mean it in the sense of a thumb pressed to soft clay
4.
oh, form does it cast a shadow? when transformed to a quotidien: a coffee and a water in the morning sitting in the bathtub (which, to my mind, is a fine way to spend the time) not thinking about an unsympathetic bout fought between two places, both unyielding the inedible woman in me is it a bitter herb that leaves a taste in your mouth? that means it's working
5.
in this dream, we have a child that we plan to take good care of and i feel older than my parents take me to task, show me not to bother making such heavy weather of it all a variation of incompleteness isn't so specific anymore a soft solution: a guiding virtue, taking aim with an arrow from a child's bow and what is struck is a balance that arrives at dusk and showers us with pink light as it towers over, as it tumbles toward the next night a soft solution to a towering wave
6.
"what if the colours before me are different than those that you see?" shut the fuck up, we have all smoked weed
7.
Day Shapes 03:10
milk street, walking the way down with dipped feet to pace out an untitled piece with honey left foot right and one step twice "endless abundance", no furious wave is upon us! a hard sell, but three in a row would be ideal if the way that is walked is paved with their honeyed paces well, who would bat a lash? what i mean to say is, "i've got no complaint" which you can read, plain as dayshapes when the crud settles in the tub
8.
As Gleam As 04:13
when i lay my palm out facedown i am struck at once by what confronts me there: it's endless as gleam as a copper bowl glows

Fruit/ Rind 03:50
