Analysis of Meandering & Growing



conjuring dreams,
idealisms, petting sharks:
women sailing, men drilling, rattling,
arthritic bones: tragedy waning,
conscienceness has legs,
multiple epiphanies: design is
missing.

ice ages. sulfur hostilities,
mirrors pointing at images.

long hallways, sky vestibules, the
dungeon is deep, some feel
comfortable.

pliable ribcages, stark countenance,
mental hyenas, dingo(s); if to
panic, relax, or gaze, seated at
fire, as intimate strangers.

weasels, meerkats, a cobra nearby,
knitted souls, urine trails, women
frustrated.  

loving as witnessed, barbwire agendas,
inveterate passion, and genetics:
alleys, laughing anguish, souls
signaling, mourning into kef.

into silence, deep concentration,
early centeredness, volts; effects
waning, beauty becomes aesthetics,
waxy deliberations.

arguing about ghosts, studying the
remora fish, and stingrays: many feelings,
an inner octopus, more fevers; flexible
willows, mind-bending bars, a
fabulous centerpiece.

Love should be gentle, petting a pika,
seated in grass, analyzing war-ants.
