ayaladn

which shoes may wear down

iris a meadowland lark

even bobolinks

 

lingering juncoes

ring-neck pheasants spatterdock

wide dew harem cock

 

Spot in the poppies

yellow a bud a buttercup

our maid she’ll get through

perhaps it is red

a camel far from Egypt

Clio’s patrician

 

once on a blue rug

the scroll of a fringe selah

an asperity

 

a fate a tatter

what mystery hidden

an hyacinth sea

from a riverbed

no water only wheels rode

watch out one time when

 

lookout crick a neck

noose or lasso cast a net

drop it ore nugget

 

drag it still restive

a rest-up but no spittoon

low blue bottle barr’d

how to keep a pen-

guin in a cloister aisle still

ask him that yourself

 

we cant a loud speech

searching through a neigh-borne wood

nothing is more good

 

that you nowhere hear

infinite a minimal

four dozen minnows

I put the billy

goat bubbl’d in a washtub

when I sleep he slips

 

one time clipping by

inextricable shall do

in a picket fence

 

call him Butterhead

that way he is on the loose

in the Pyrenees
