For instances ("Sweet ekes / of soft drips")

i

It's is and it and
soft-cut sense. Paper

pets peek — a dry lace
and as well. Their floors

whole were coming
common — oft liquid

to eking and sweep. Of a
put and a part, all

of lens and discolor. Bone
down bone eyed.




ii

O lobster requit it
or quiet. Thumb's song — sweet

and claps. Summeried in thrillings
of and space. Lots of cradle

to so beef. Tango
book — tango scans. Soft

puddings and commonkeys!




iii

If the words that test
shake — if a gone water

orbit. During a good ever b,
and more, of our

mute mouth. Chills! The sweet taste
of a sauce; her hand — melons.

Tame fancies, tame cables —
and heavy wind howl, or fro', or do.
