Delve

Delve granite phone call suppose interim corners until unopened

cluster paint as passage inert silk covers one breast look baroque

perforations begin to snow lights were left on to encourage others

To adopt pears and wait until they ripen fail and crease pieces

held only by the surrounding and expanding acreage of hedge

skirts we bit into by mistake but suffered no evil consequences

One from the other gouged in some sandpaper pricked enough to

round off the corner standstill taut composure made coffee from

brown postures flavours of fedora musk leather wood gamboge

And recumbent violas gave large rooms to manoeuvre our tanned

curves into our limp chinned mazed poor appreciation of longevity

time after standing in buckets of chrysanthemums feeling virtual

Calm modes of appeasement vast perfumed and orange sounding

blizzards rolled baroque architecture too close for comfort it could

only be comforted if midsts furled convincements into our battered

Suitcases which sat with us sad peerings reluctant pedals heavy

dough hiding several faces prepared early that morning who could

have thought it would be this ancient cloud we forced back hastily

Yesterday when winding a key to open a tin of slurs that absurdity

lay heavily on us now with blatant sides unavoidably beginning to

curdle where unable to distinguish disturbance from contentment

Where all is partial all is apt
