keystone
hieroglyphs
forget the abolished constellation
never recompressed the infinite combinatory
warning overflows
the nucleus speaks
error impossible
errancy difficult
the directional rattle hangs from the trees
within reach of anyone
the lozenge keeps watch with closed eyes
here begins
reclaimed from wild beasts
the sacred territory reluctantly conceded by the leaves
travel observations:
vermin
an ordinary amount of flies
an obsessive kiss of cockroaches
up there from branch to branch
the army of moons launching waves of attacks
against who knows what monkeys
in the valleys beware
the velvet of the detour
is measured by a chaos of stupefied insects
puddle
in any case
one is advised not to indulge
in breaks
