smaller

		the last eight stills in Mon oncle d’Amerique itched through
		a rue lymph in long term the snub nose of a tomb from my chair
		would the point be to disperse one’s body that there are phrases
		her comment on Strindberg down the driveway toward their car
		the land where i think blurred on my eyes my neck sulfured short
		artists work on their own adjustments in order to consider drinks
		some sentences on how wide they are from the sunlight at tax time
		watching while Monk couldn’t name anything apart in Norwich
		she was all the bygone passed through as some midst that its prim 
		there must be the least paper where i left it to that blank suitcase
		that much longevity where she’d missed what he’d described to dot
		had what she read left people stilled upon behind the wrong beat
		John Dee’s handwriting my glasses compared than egg-shaped
		what couldn’t be pronounced to its thinnest partedness of winter
		how do notes fall from their light as the thin from its wedlock

a unit of length before she could remember her chin
“the closer we get to the building the less as we see”
what wouldn’t be linked to the stretch aside from it
nerve tissue to fauvists as he reads about partedness
are the amish their imaginations compared in mice
had she paused enough that i’d already spoken of
every painter from her eyes on literature to the stull
my neck to a point the time that it took me to write 	
catholic left on glasses from a pause from a chair
class position slimmed on how the later Beethoven
a pinstripe glean of french dictionary edge toward it
chapel intervals of all the collection the behavior left	    

	her picture that never varied much ankle
	how would i go past the world at a time
	my nose in everything as acreage color
	a girl’s neck thin from where it named
	a wheat soto as swim from pen stroke
	sentences on how wide they are past
	Colem. Hawkins as more totally a distance
	all the wrong wall from a bookmark
	sunders into footsteps i never seemed
	french river in her lungs to be normal
	some clock on how he matters attention

	asian word calved periods on
	carlights in a book on some hide
the 	cherokee a banker’s grist
schedule texture on a waist
hours within trees of literature
the peer in my neck to a point
cow glance maned into birthr.
hutterite in some grape dusk
seeing cut off from some jots

nerve tissue to fauvists
ea. breath at my blunt
compound nabisco pts.
experience as interrupt
a vint as french river
time & reproach study
