use the diamond cutter mercy

goddam the full moon when you padlock and werewolf

to consider unfinished canvas tragedies

and I arrange records in order of their ability to make me cry

behind the impossible eclipse 

you find the best cutting words for your

kireji haiku syllable count

and I invent self-medicating petrified wood capacitors

the river convergence will ravage

the late autumn sweater configuration

so be alert for dead pan pearl oracles to manifest 

and perform spontaneously on your heart valves

go ahead and paint clouds to look like glass animals

but recognize the value in these quiet furniture movements

I won’t steal your cerulean blue
