These marching bands
are always
[young
with unwoven knots
all] equally spaced
​
as if out of
courtesy not to crowd one yard with all their problems
​
Orange and grey leaf suspended by one
nylon thread off the leg
of a spider
[her lover in
Folsom State Prison]
​
[not sure when to die]
People are proud of their strangest outfits.
​
I've mostly been into the cloth
of strangers' trauma lately
[spirit
and the like] the most likely time
is on a Sunday night in October. Tattered
​
strands on the navy face [white plums]
matted lint on the white face [blue bugs]
​
It's not so much the knee-high socks
or grass stained shorts or polyester cloaks
or lack of them all
it's about the fit.
Really embracing an [in] side.

Tenebrism is as morbid as pep [morbid as in
a disguise] I almost forgot existed.
