Shove-Out




given over to some grand
send-off slavish hurrahs

still-mute vocable singes
priming the engine-

room upon most we'd
slathered much silvery

pitch sealant tested the
under-ribs with our much-

most weight sun's mouth
droning cured exploits

most words coeval with
what trash attends them

bits of mauled cracker egg
white spittle-flecks these

words declaimed belated
to corrugate deeds dis-

owned given to dessicate
founder along banks edges 

*
Bid gingerly,
or bide rightly

*
Metal doors swollen shut,
binding,
have to be throttled then
kicked open

*
Bury me in a stone
fruit compote–

(Amended cameos,
qualified pleasures of
merely circulating)

*
Full-tilt, no frills brokerage

*
The patter patter
of outtakes from the deposition

(It speaks for itself, that
rusted-out charm)

Cast eyes on
connoisseurship, scudding cant,
you name it

Scour the outtakes, whatever,
you break it you buy it,
delicate flanges on the meanest words
*
A world: a bed of live coals in the making, fuel-first 
then mantled, an afterlife–
	 	appointed to:
		     	shaken by that aspect, merely
a swung lantern,
a pendant guttering
tongue, uninterpretable		was dampened or
almost					tinged, marked 
					according to an
	of utterable things		       absorption
	objects, twitching    	        	       quotient
	spars–				       that  is, an
					ordination of the 
BOLT					most tender kinds
BRACE	like,			of relations–		        
SHEAR	touching the		
		subject of 		couplings, 
		rope-splicing, 		exchanges,stains–
		or the 
	matter of kindling 		deployment
the porousness of a dry, time-ripened morsel of found
bone–betokens what 
			the porousness, we mean to
			search, not the bone bit–
that/its softly abrasive, tinily pocked resistance says what

*
Took form from
wafting airs of

A musk-musik
a pliant plaint

Took my cues from
sturm-and-drang

A ship-
ment of bearings

Took heart-form
Took haven from

A ship-
ment of rivets

Savor-heft of amer
a mur  ammo  amo  

Musk-musik in
plaited zero-airs

Splinted oars, keen
for shallows, swept
