Anise Drizzle
Horse of the feldspar
or form mistaken rock
will kick itself out to pasture
rest referring to weathering.
Rain overruns the chlorophyll foul
and graceful
and foulest is following a whisper
posting in the stead of sitting.
Horse of the filed down
binding itself field to aniseed
and the unseen dill weed as well.
Decomposition
is to nurture as composing itself
fills the pastureland
to borrow a forced misreading
the grass as grass or corpse grasses.
Ring around the pony
a pocket full of posies
ashes ashes
we follow the withers down.
The horse of the periphery is left
telling the story of the twelve
dancing princesses
all gills and spore print in the beginning.
Replicate and stick
like the tattered dancing slippers did
to fulfill the witch licorice.
Circle and licorice like
a hollowing follows this impulse
to be feeding off itself.
If malformation were a line of verse
we all fall outside.
Ring around the pony
a pocket full of arvensis
it rings itself in tumorigenesis
we all hollow out.
Anastrozole
Come on mycelium
with steel light and fairy rings.
These mycelium seams
yield the desired collection
and the very edge of training bends
and extends itself.
If fulfilling the littlest sister
in her silk top hat and black coat to compete.
She enters the ring
points of light
as fennel light mare circles
mycelium come on and make it fortunate.
Ring around the pony
the old horses training wins over rain
a pocket full of mycelium
it is only a tectosilicate kind of nightmare.
Horse of the fenlands
often a twinning within the stone
its own coat
now entering the zone necrotic.
Ring around the pony
a pocket full of mycelium
silver silver
we all feel tall in the meadowlands.
The milk cow of the plagioclase series
read clay and the the rind side.
Firing forms a glassy matrix that bonds
ceramics like faces
from midlands to iridescence
the cogwheel labradorite inside
does not lend itself
to water or aerating or a rock cleaved with ease.
Cleavage gets
itself given over to the witch gift—
arvensis in the sense less than the sinister one
take the licorice sister.
