The Floral Envelope

Frantically Free

Enticements 
swells of hell 

under the sea 
under the sea

Dong long, ping pong 
my subliterate sing song.

Love, loves and despises
what it steals -

Raising guises, 
blunt disguises.

Behooveful madness 
trails with surprises —

Playing for tools ?
fishes in schools.

The great mirror 
shipyard and rules ?

Eyes in headlights, 
nearer nearer —

Knife out 
for a smearer 

Peppers ghosts 
a pile on -

to extricate
the crouching lion.

Poetic aviary 
bravery for slavery?

Stunning 
snowblindness.

Truant for a hoe 
row baby row.

Dangling spangling
like a trap for flies

My fleuries arise
riddled, addled 

In the name 
of love

Venture to subsist 
adventure to resist 

Daring scaring —
mutually unsparing.

What to do 
with scares 

That bumble 
like a bee 

That dance 
with bears,

Stew and stow
howl in the heat. 

And wandering 
turbid, 
 
how the timids 
will bleat.

Shocked at reversals 
ganglionic 

perversals,
frantically free.

Heart sinks 
into a bilk

Where ancestors 
thirst

discovered 
raw silk.

Mold grieves 
and believes 

in staking 
tears for fears
 
what it means 
to be eerie.

The blurs the fleurs 
the purrs and demurers,

the sacks, 
and attacks.

The death spinning 
furtives 

going holy 
assertive 

Burying 
the bone 

into a balkline,
under the sea 
under the sea —

Only to punch out 
a hole 

through the haughty 
noodle bowl

like a miracle 
of gravity.

Humpty, forever falling
running into waves  

Screaming the king is dead 
long live the slave ?

Indy fencibles
love you till you rot

Measures and pleasures
assail for treasures, 
on love.

The ironic double 
what glorious trouble —

Love it because I want to
hopeless, to a hope!

Backsies and a firewhirl,
the floral envelope.
