from The Corn Mother:

Half torn apart
and ascending
(flight version)
over the sleeve
secretly corn is
rubbed out “by
means that are
considered disgusting”
and flying away.

And as a herb
screw the boat
cylinder wavy
attack repeat can
you family
Noctuidae inbred
strains wing to
their divine home
which is on heat.

Immolation better
extreme popcorn
worse border
police than
ever more
hexane I’m
silo to the max
brimmed over nailed
to the bus. Purely
as a peremptory
norm fails to
undercut sophisticated
listening imaging equip
heartbeat tugging
at the banners, mole
breathing sensed in
Cheriton and dispatch
it breaks off.
