ayaladn

all words just once as
a splendor to an idyll
bright armor plain stave

valor the far league
viols as willow tunes yield
numberless summers

abundant winter
an occasional season
happenstance an haft

arose in moonlight
to a palm tree canopy
a sinuous step

a surfeit of stars
a serial serration
the bloodline arc blue

a trait inherent
to a touchstone a tidepool
a fool foot faster

we are a species
capable of paradise
inescapable

despite the old want
confront'd by those more less
who gave all for it

beyond better-worse
a wordless verse in cursive
question a reply

to become a world
in a neighborhood often
poesis as lift

a membranous wing
circumferent a phoenix
an afternoon rain

quarter past lab work

regular fast a slow lane

sign-in data line

 

thumb a magazine

underline a classified

vacant house unlet

 

west of easy street

xenophobic neighborhood

yellow brick facade

 

 

 

 

a prewrit postscript

noting in particular

kept it to one page
