"Brave because we have to" isn't a Monopoly board square--& yet it is.

"the oldest person there"

1.
skinned scorpion brandy
landscape cloud-veils drape
pierced by pard verses
honey lavender honey lavender honey lavender

2.
i have been to all these rooms before
a desecration vanished quick at dawn
spiralling wind, lights that flit & roar
work we're taking on
in furthest strength
nada spiralling back to words at length
the long walk · in the loud rain
collar turned up · echo laden
chill cathedral
forehead drill
tarantula brandy
& spent body

3.
air palace ullage
ore of the grim tremble

orange ceramic hinge for
four horsemen corsned

Parade.
