I GERMINATE LOVER, GO THE ENGLISH U THE RAREST BIRDS BEAUTIFUL GUN REASSURING PINCHES APRIL 10TH OTHER HAPPY GIDDY ALIVE OTHER COOKCD645 I GERMINATE LOVER, GO. Until Do I seem to you A thirsty flower The fire is humbled in the grate That supposes it is This cup in its forgotten state, that measured tides, high tides Ripe to bloom Photographs the words I’d take solace in such Unspoken A sorry shower Yes, wash me please As a crocus offering saffron token Of this dust Until the dew evaporates Will you. And while the clay bakes I might sleep for all these fragrant tales I gestate Blink belief at every Twist as true I’m here. I germinate Make it end where I fill I’m here. I germinate Empty sails And I’m applauding I will give you wanderlust You, and your song as new A tree must, tucked into earth unblinking Set your compass to me my twin Go lover go The rub of life has moulded every limb I already know and shifter now has settled shape Until you gift a word unheard You fight to keep yourself awake Go, lover go Go I’m here. I germinate Go I’m here. I germinate Not all that breaks is to mend Cora stay your hand and let the root keep hold in the ground Some things made strong by their bend I unfold Not all that’s broken we seek to Throw away only for wanting again. I give you until there bleeds a seam of tangerine Where bats in a blink eclipse the moon like whipped kerchiefs Go, lover. In a courtly swoon Go I’m here. I germinate I’m here. I germinate Cora stay your hand and let the root keep hold in the ground Unfold Until the last seed spills its green The last wreath here between deft fingers mend a ring complete Until the sea roils sweet Until armadas sweep the dead West Pier I wait I’m here.

Mine the rumbling thrum of the rail yard Are you out to play? Come be alive Felt-tight All terminals arrived at With your game in pieces? Here and take up by my side Rolled in as though a bale of hay introduced Jiminy Cricket staying home today We decide And there grew up a wall of concrete grey Words like fall-out Imitate the species Let there be no triggers fired Cutting brief the promenade Ash where there was none Put your hands down And swallowing whole companion dogs Already in the blood And I don’t mean The waltz on the pavement Oh, this is how we learn to exist Ahead a pavilion measured in steps Some people we don’t mean to lose ROFL Let nothing begin Levitates They snag on branches and separate in market squares It’s mob entertainment And we find ourselves squared up in the ring Just And then the trains this way and that But this is a fight Beneath the press Scan barcode faces into something grey Find your life online I don’t care to win And bears the weight on its rigid knees Emoji man kind Cut you, oh and I bleed OTHER Happy giddy?

I’m on side Audience-early Don’t want another rock to hang about my neck Hear the thunderclap of quiet Arrived for a keener view You see bejeweled And I don’t mean Calm in sight I see bedecked in dead stars The sim in your city Let’s have no alarms tonight The beach huts thrust proud their Cast your net We can stand down Pink and purple chests And nothing touching me At somebody pretty The old guard Oh, like the bird on the wire Fearing less I am glad for open windows Drear little djinn We could steal away Squat broad I call the birds that do not come Will you shift your shape? But while there’s peace enough to sit out the rain And make limp protest You Beak and Dead-Eyed, welcome All the world is a glimmer I’ll watch my mouth Bones bleach of the city If they won’t come for the You corner your pain Behind now exists not And when I’m done, I’m done. I’m done Incident tape We can cover one another And this way turns only one page at a time Keep eternal for your worry Diarise the dinner Weave like the willow again Today I have hope where you have none I don’t want to look upon another word this hard so lightly thrown Follow all is fine And I want you Hunkered down in bell-jar space made I say disarm, I hear disown, It sounds familiar Virtual party time I still want you Strange this hour in this light Happy giddy?

Neither knowing we’d be here both So lightly spent Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Moon towing And what says here To and froing Means came and went It sounds familiar A room is changed dependent on the door by which we enter Nothing’s touching me.
