|
|
greta's cedar hope chest
|
is full of pamphlets
|
glass shelves of romantic vignettes
|
a journal laced with sedimentary prose
|
|
norma gathers and collects vintage photoplays
|
hair combs valentines
|
|
lillian allows the animals to scratch
|
leather crack
|
mail collect in the box coatings peel
|
|
agnes veiled cathedral dweller
|
smiles with benevolent pain
|
it's katrina's fair tuesday morning
|
as she with caution unlatches the flat door
|
she alone cascades to the basement
|
careful not to spoil her
|
calico printed pinafore
|
composite traits mannerists
|
all others dissipate
|
|
margauritte vigilant dwells upon frigid casements
|
|
sarah's thoughts in the velocity
|
accusations always pierce and pass
|
|
clara abandons her passions for distastes
|
miss lenora p. sinclair
|
early for coffee in the pool
|
"i'm resituating all your words"
|
capital
|
space
|
colon
|
paragraph
|
|
sylvia keeps beasts in jars labeled
|
kingdom phylum class order family genus species
