Embraceable Current
electrical quivering vast
routing specialized tremors predisposed to
implausible buoyancies to
ruminant monsoons
-- looping decibel lash dash wildly
-- truant hyperbole rash
-- simoom lush
culled from undiluted pathos, sheared to the
depths of bone-weep, grooming the
underwater panther, the spooked wildebeest,
larch conifers consult their residencies, spool with
cypress, poplar, . . . ash, confer from unkempt lowlands, from
ancient ventilates
omnithaw quest respirate
animates adhere
concertize a
last appeal
