surprising sing stupendous love
THIS
THIS!Incandescent hand roaring from the dark. Seize it and face shoulders legs eyes aura pure
hue of daffodils and world open shine shine shine shine shine about the green Berkshire green
tree leans into another, what does it say and has it ever spoken truer words than lightbulbs
placed on and blared from tongue come ruffians to lick and hurl smoke frenetic beasts of magic
hands dug into and panned palm line river glitters going graces in soft praise of the smolder
cigar trees ashing their flowers on the train tracks!LOOK!LOOK!THE HANDS OF THE TUNNEL SHRINK!AND
MOUNTAINS AND
MOUNTAINS
AND
GREEN!
AND
GREEN!
GREEN!
