Goes to weather black feathers
That muffle mirth scofflaw

Doors, counters with smooth glozing
Season of witch satchel
Sends perilous fixed-fenders
Fall into flerd golden
Aflame with deathbright nightmares

Living creek.

gurgling pool of prophets
purge apogee Lojban
sprinkled umber, spraint-talk
sprocket made of boxcars
the wide riddle reams you
roughshod with the huffed dreams
inventory tintypes
like a tortoise hoarder

annual wound, undead
ink-vanishing mission
