action potential

i start by making the water flow right back
up to the neck
where the slight/retort
impulse
takes orbiting around
year-ends
make one pebble shinier and more rounded
as it passes over
then comes back
a blunted practice
perimeter
like an old suite to fashion
a limb goes out to the water
flings a sword
decompresses the wire binding
a weak cosmic censorship

//do not compose any event

there’s a thought
i find no response
when i stand up to
replace the next in line
maybe encouraging
the save signet signal
twice as fast as my troth differs
from the think tank
close reader omega-regular
at my desk
radiative forcing
from branch to branch
tapered downward
to ward off any climber
any world disguised expertly
is the stagehand
the working fluid
in the event
“It is vain to suppose, that
we can invent anything at all—
and all truth is invention—
if
nothing happens...”

i want this to be
as the derating
as round as shape
tweak sobriquet
heated ramie gloss
continua in faint
postbuckling terrace
sulfa pumping thru
her plenus detailing
Rappaccini’s made-
to-hold-back-a-kiss
paternalist model
madder-dyed her cleft
it is not our love
aqar sular brought her
the hypoxic bloom set
her bare feet swinging

Note: aqar sular is translated running-waters
