Outbuilding painted some gone color forty years ago


Hedges ornamented with a purse


We blew in at the speed of Saxons
Mannequinned on spears
Stenciling the orange-red Wallachian dusk


Only ever had enough
Siphoned out to reach
The terminus of one main
Neon bloodless drag the ugliest
America admits to having seen


Aesthetically speaking
You smell smoke here


Jamming up the cabin of a truck with stolen plates
Marriage license
Writing groom into the dockets
I believe
