Scott Thurston
One for the Shapeless Moments
My heart is so full in this condition
In this condition that I write in
A full heart in condition take on
For condition a past welts right
In the throat it wishes to join
What in a rate heart wrote
It sounded wrung out tampered
With not quite right a white
Wash out
But a ring dances for
Me pulls me into its protective
Causes a catch pin numbering
Its sufficient causes caught me
Unawares in the reconditioned
Chamber
