like memory from Even I

like memory you think of it
the sanded wordless checker in the petulant sun
maker and mocker as it rattles your cage fit
for a road and royal pardon the only one
weakened by bets and rallies the false flask
of pairs and like this you always turn by the crest
a word in your hand man with a toothcomb switch
guessrope of hangar
desire her back limbering
sent by battalions and momentary slips elapsed in the meal
hovering between the beats of your life mortal and immortal you stare
other days you are goaded by the wax metaphysical shade of dowries
conflated by a wheel held by a lair stuttering along the sidewalk
ringing in your notes not classic in its disappointment but
rueful in its borderline a perfect nose causing craniums to think
fright to flee disappointment to break not laced by the additives
your fortune bares to the sky its firmament a local lust
trapped in place standing stepped in that repeated pace

guerdon and the kettle open their heart mamba man makes his peace
a drug store bottle composed of light
look there he goes the guerite able at her post
switched the swathe of pronoun
little sockets hod hold the train
your emotives win the moment
run into your nick foul as the storm at her shelter
