Manacles.

You don’t need random signifiers if you have something to signify more than you need to use signifiers.

Echo Beach.

"festooned with measure"

raghdirst of the roughshod
bewrayed faded temple
pale cerulean Porlock
passers-by defier
raghdirst as silt dogma
deadlier cold smouldered
umber cradle craquelure
increase dwale-cicalas

smog of eclipse smuggler
rains in the small drainpipe
& i drive through thistle
whisperthrongs like Oswald
in the thesternoon theater
nothing left but reftwinds
or raghdirst karst rummage
a roar ears might doorbell

yet raise again gunsights
gobble the dawn's clobber
our caverns frail frass-crunch
to forage berth further
liripoop scrum-scrambled
ascribe to thug bibles
pretend just this tinsel
attained without raindance

the day's obtuse axis
utters its gauze buttress
my car has wheels whetstone
to whoosh roads corroding
it sits out there sulking
we've sought grail of failure
& how can i hounded
by haunts find my blindside

desert of fell fumbles
affordance nil for swill-churl
cracker barrel bombhush
blurts its heinous train-howl
what can i do wharfstint
to whittle down clownface
the days grow dark bloodtide
adorning each speech act

One Less Bell.
