4 p.m., nightbird, the world

strong-


minded stone
beneath nip- and necking croppers, wet, breathing a goal -


there was no-one


except for some
woven material: lips, shepherd, lama pyjama,


and god


throwing caution
to north by northwest, to the well that swift-handed


ran dry,


a nice try
in compliance with faith or what faith represent in material way -


once separated,


us, croppers
were daily confused [par des yeux car des yeux on en voit


partout,


par exemple]
only thought-eaten stones could, would hide from nonsensical


necking


and crop
