About time
as she fattens him (Burton’s, wine and zen)
hen loop’s carving a curse and a moral at once:
he veils the bold rein, doesn’t look at hen:
she is spliced:
he hears her calling an SOS
as she rides in the heaviside of hen Brian.
he roots in a harvest of whore-brawn,
a hazy-cool esso sauce
as she is splashed
he feels trouble run through him like a door.
Holub’s cough occurs, but a smell atones
as she frots home between Pearl and Dean.
the sephardic hymn’s a palindrome:
hen lap’s craving a caress of small atoms.
he fails, and the blade-runt licks tears:
she has blushed:
in a hazy yes-man’s land
he hides: in crevasses of Hebron.
his hard-on’s in the crevices of hen brain.
he hears her call yes, yes!
she is pleased
he feels the blood nun to him like a ton:
lips curve in a kiss and a smile at once
as she fits him in between nine and ten.
