jim leftwich, Easter 2011 (and 2016)

first poem, book 1, six months aint no sentence
Easter 2011

nevertheless as knees to burnt visit
bullets on the gazebo
aorta weft curlicue rejuvenated
hazardous zoology canopy
a hiss of tinted malaise
the moon wheat needles
lullaby tables laugh
diabolical and verbal is not vertical
polkadots decrease
no sun ax today at alter
their game eyes and their knee deep
simmering only negations asunder
belabors absolutist keening
cumulative hiatus unedited
never tamed eliminations pockmark
half answers in lark and bile
now and again ink inches hereafter burnt
below inhabited sarx cymbals largesse
habitual against nearsighted gardens
vast as silage gurgles
no such repetition as the tongue of signs
lasts asterisk nonsequential water mark
oddly vinegar and costumed severance
shamanic habitually destabilized
kilometers brusque scar of sea lions
quick as kinetic suture ebbs
surname haggle and hacienda
handlebar briers
barracuda buttered novel and unkind
diagonal nexus axiomatic roadmap
engenders a delicate flag

the taxi only comes once

quantum and linear laws of duration

but years

at last

driving through the liminal ricochet

miles of fuzzy mud and footfalls

shadows divided in an open box

a lake of burnt buttons and necklaces

skulls
oleander
alphabets

plastic bags
marbles
wax

they
say
encroach

fingernails
traffic lights
spare ribs

catnip
garlic
cigarettes

nearly defenseless
nevertheless
turbulent

dovetailed
triangulate
dissolve











Easter 2011 (and 2016)

burnt nevertheless as knees to visit

endless vinegar and costumed severance

asterisks brusque scar of sea lions
interrupted as kinetic suture ebbs
concrete haggle and hacienda
textual briers
Alice buttered novel and unkind
treacherous nexus axiomatic roadmap
similar a delicate flag





the taxi only comes once
neither something convention
quantum and linear laws of duration
coded language where
but years
although two Carrols
at last
wordplay cover reversing
driving through the liminal ricochet
ambiguities piece these quiet
miles of fuzzy mud and footfalls
shades visual feeling
shadows divided in an open box
neither more nor less than
a lake of burnt buttons and necklaces
