From a sequence on Caedmon.

“Vichyswallows”

1.
if—gjalfkitchenhour
answer is truth, rancid
giftkeep & all, galeword
in the ganch-stilled ‘wilder
nestles among misfires
monster not to slaughter:
brave new oven brumous
with brick red embedding

2.
two stars · two worlds
   two alone unhidden
carry elf cookies · pretend fight
   in the Lilacene
pale cerulean · unriddlesome welkin
   leading me to drink
at inch-high oases · antheap cisterns
   hope of a kind

3.
midway this spree murder
mountain holy with hap
trouble in the thirst trap
erstwhile pub pyramid

4.
   briargrove
crystal witness
   harsh frolic
against orc volts
   oval reel

5.
surrender
in the wrong way
