May 22 - June 5

Hand (shading) eye
Peer into (future)
Down (road) apace
See bird down (there)
Pecking bloodbits (on) branchlets
Where (sun) shakes trees
& wind (scowls)

Rest head on (hand)
Slink down in (chair)
Repeat (orders)
Roll out wire rim
Grease (greased) palm
Placate unsteady (heart)
When (surge) topples

Refurbish recurring (nightmare)
(Reinvent) contagion
Hop along (for) signs of link
Return to steady (state)
Of (human) bondage
Spell it (out) now
Say when (when)

Doubledose of (dosey) doe
Summer (and) smoke
Categorize what’s (the) matter
Careen ( )
As in dream(,) slurp, sunsick
Balderdash rhapsody
(Saints ’n sinners) threnody

Cold sweat on (bonny) brow
(Taint a chance, not a)
Let’s go traipsin’ (‘n) saunterin’
Down by the down by the
Another policeman’s
(Marble) flesh in dewy(b)light
Trouble (under), tossing stars

Knob of history (pull)
Emblem emblazoned (full)
Sleeping (with, in)
Sleeping (with, out)
Sleeping sleep of (innocence)
(Reticence) wrangled
(Bedraggled) insistence

( ) detain, abhor
Constrain(,) maintain
Detox, (detonate), dedicate
Dust the frame in (lacquer)
(Remain) alert, aloof, abject
Cover turf (in) subsistence
Monologue (of) misgivings

Tiresome (miasma) plagues
My thoughts, (as if)
Buzz of static (ground)
(Against) which ideas
Tumble, (like) toy trains
To ground(())
Underground in (your) belly

Biology (rrrr)rumbles
Toothsome laterals (crack) whip
(In) (to) (shock) (speed)
Build(ings) burn, bumble
Trumble(,) thimble(,) sweet tenor bull
Fake or bled de(in)flexions
(Sad sing)

O bright republics!
Burn (boogie) churn!
As (if) (the) market smacks
(Put your oughts in O!s)
Where the cement mix(er)
Hits (the) ground grunting
Days out (&) out luted

Moments –– years –– centuries
Of (discombobulate) swoons
(Eerie) (Tumescent) (Listless)
Of tortured (washed out) words
& dreams deferred
Blaring nightmares
& swoops ‘n snoops

& disregard
& disregard
& disregard
