Worming words among ruinous runs of a burbling,
stirred, disturbed, intuitive gut,

this pickled affliction poetry’s pruned from:
shit that, suffice it to say, 
                                              spurs on a bonsai—

peels from a withering rose
such sumptuous blush among silken appendages, maybe
prosthetic,
                    prophetic,

gibbering goldenrod, strident cries of inviolate bluegrass,
rhytons reprising plump or departing moons—

                      or untethered from tortuous towers,
            tabards cathected,
clothes encoded in cumbrous tones,
the brilliant chitter of blithering bilboes 
(stirred to an awkward itch or an achy sonnet,
 surly song, a smarting tonsil teased to a tercet, 
 a tiercel’s tirade picking at ponderous scarps or stones,
