A Novel About Cities
on cabin buddha pipes streak
anything
here radical limits from nude clean fuzz
in parlors
memorial in about
at town is sleepy street dust bands
spat empty & power
stone
the
deadlines
ecliptic path selves staked large inside
pinpoint sea pullover cold
its
margin a small mirror
shredded
Probable Muted of Still
the hang hangs outside the cuckoo
earthy golden sky
under a thousand brightens above
subversive
gloom away rollers
waving sea toward square
strobes its a tall town
through to autumn’s
houses aging the away
flesh
fireworks,
and libretto fetters
held eyes
substance like still
migratory succulent this invisible
screen has out beak
moon
limbs
through the body
six intimate blows from
the colossal
future
of a muted new
Looks Shade Sky
encores in ordinary
the cinema which lilac red shot;
heat—have white blonde hard of the haired sun in its
night rifle of
number
