Unbending
Unbending as ends
are stemmed & spared
by means of a lighter fire
Held by a thumbnail
draining white
& butane effaces
itself to flame
For we could slowly
be shorn
over runs in the knitting
unwinding
with darkened light shading
our sockets
peering
through lawless pockets

"Held by a thumbnail

"with darkened light shading"- this line takes me to the local art museum.i took my mom to an exhibit there once; there was a gigantic sheet of paper shaded entirely with pencil..my mom kept touching it and rubbing a bit off...she almost got us kicked out lol.
"peering
through lawless pockets "- this takes me to Butch Cassidy,the Wild Bunch and the Hole-in-the-wall; i'd like to visit there someday

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious! 🤣 At least as poets, our stuff can't really be rubbed away slowly...I mean, I shouldn't laugh...but that is darkly funny!
I always look forward to your impressions of stuff, it's a hoot! This was particularly interesting today man, good stuff!

yr too 'good' at this, Wish i 'had' someone who thinks like you in these last alonesome hours.........but what's writ by someone oft translates rather differently in the illusion of what's generally perceived as Real Life.
