grownd

you over you/r mothermouth into me
you/r handedness for that: I
go to my gravitas with it: it
sinks to the clovergrounds
spurious as if were children reacts
more to how external measurers come
out into force into statistical into beliefs: we
conspire to jump to raise spirits to raise funds
any are the defiance acts any the facts
any the illusions further you trumpet
y/our call into me no palliative but
response: now how the blood
has it now how the flow too
in hut in gut in cut-to-
in token pardon in followings
there where the celebratory dance takes
place or costumes or the feast
shamanic histories shadows
palmprints across the cave
wall fireplace ritual the
elongated telling of
y/our softness offering
becomes cause becomes
reputed becomes precedent: but
numbers headcount a fact book a world
view round so that the whispers consumed
by old stars so that entire cosmologies
soak up the protests make up a river
of screams deltas sutures
scab patchworks
an equatorial covenance
ripped from mooring to primordial
back-aeons black and all-devoid thus: I
compress you/r scapegoat into a
chewable fury my ruse a
useless spit to the
deadmounds
you cover you/r tracks into me
you/r blindness for that: I
hurry to palpate the
worthy as we all do
but they are
buriable, merely
buriable
