232

The imaginary uses of alternation
Cling to my jacket invisible
I flick at them with batwings

Teardrop so unsettling/teakettle in its pregnant/permanent

The caliph gigantizes a prayer
By grasping what is string in it
And what is pedant heartache

She/I hover among these blue cities
Mocking the stolen corners
For her/my map of places to take

The/timidly games are also inflation/on television

The television is on me

So offer your donut/angel/ass to the backpacker/harbormaster/substitute
