So what've you been working on?

This is a long one, a jaw-cracker in which an exhorter attempts the destruction of all things.

spontaneous volutions of improbable ubiquity— a spiral; isomorphism’s procedural obliquity; heresiarch-anathemas’ aristocratic maundering; midrashic ataraxia’s agnosticism-laundering; lacrimatory overflows; the incompressibility of melancholy; taciturn mentality’s ductility;

As seen in Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira.

#sonnet
a sonnet to the asshole translated from the french [octet by verlaine; sestet by rimbaud] mauve rosebud, a puckering gentle pink an earthy twitch set in a humid loam gasps small and shy amid the love-spent foam as skimming cream runs down a frothing sink filament ooze tossed up a churning shore seeps down proud hills, and over bruising sides to your raw, red knot that blooms—abused, untied that sucks, and seethes, and sighs, and slackens sore in dreams i kiss this tawny olive musk in thoughts i sip spent juice from out its husk the taste of me mixed there with taste of you the sup of god, the distillation sweet your living font i ache to drink, to eat and taste the promised land in thickening dew

John Fuller poking fun at his own simile at the beginning of Flying to Nowhere.
As they strode by, the novices looked at the girls, and the first spoke a half voiced thought into the stifling privacy of his cowl: "Their strokes are like the strokes of the knife on used vellum. The erased word serves its turn and is restored like dead grass to the elements. The field is the book of nature to be freshly inscribed by our brother the sun.” These thoughts were themselves, he reflected, worthy of being inscribed in his book, and he resolved to submit them at the first opportunity to the Abbot for his approval.

I used to post photographs of these without explanation. Here's a clearer demonstration in a more permanent place.

From Ruination by Katie Jean Shinkle.
New Reports (unofficial): All of his daughters are soldered together with fan mushrooms coming out of their backs, as if they were born that way, looking like fins from afar, as if they are fishes hung up on a string, mouths together; his twin daughters are fused at the ankles by two saplings; the terrorist older daughter is trapped on her knees as if praying with the most magnificent magnolias you've ever seen swaddling her; his youngest daughter with filaments of cascading green from her head like cables, skewered vertically by a mimosa tree. The cover of Ruination: dark photograph of dense green leaves (ivy?).

Love? poem.

(Motorman by David Ohle.)
Asking space Roberta gave me time. Having Time I gave Roberta Space. While the moonlights sail above the hoeblade, The noonlight's mine until the end comes. I touched her face Taking grace. While the sea belongs to me until the end comes. Wanting a month Roberta gave November. When the end comes, Roberta won't remember.

Epigraph to Motorman by David Ohle.
Bricks are usually rectangular, because in that way they are most suitable for building the vertical walls of our houses. But anyone who has had to do with the stacking of stones of a non-cubic type will be well aware of other possibilities. For instance, one can make use of tetrahedrons alternating with octahedrons. They are not practicable for human beings to build with, because they make neither vertical walls nor horizontal floor. However, when this building is filled with water, flatworms can swim in it. —M.C. Escher

Lennon on… the Wandering Jew? Wordsworth?
I Wandered On balmy seas and pernie schooners On strivers and warming things In a peanut coalshed clad I wandered happy as a jew To meet good Doris King. Past grisby trees and hulky builds Past ratters and bradder sheep In a resus baby stooped I wandered hairy as a dog To get a goobites sleep Down hovey lanes and stoney claves Down ricketts and sticklys myth In a fatty hebrew gurth I wandered humply as a sock To meet bad Bernie Smith

There was a war Peloponnesian
that bled the Greeks dry like a lesion,
whose triremes and hoplites
encountered no stop lights,
but warred on all through killing ‘seision’.

Made a quick Pied Beauty rendition based on an idea from al Alpaca Conference talk.

I like how the spaces end up looking like those programming editor "show invisibles" spaces.

FAKE NOCTURNE The night is silent. The melancholy is huge. A will-o'-the-wisp troubles the tranquil landscape. What a bore! It is an old will-o'-the-wisp. Did it really have to come? Let's go back to our dreaming, please.

"Abjuration", in the D&D usage, is a Gygax typo. The correct word is "Adjuration", which is the stern command given during exorcism, usually to banish and keep away evil presences 🧵

Short history of flea poems from Great Topics of the World by Albert Goldbarth.
The poemlet often called "Fleas" (I believe it's anonymous; sometimes you find it billed as "the briefest poem in the English language"): Adam Had 'em. places our prickler squarely at The Beginning: it was naked flesh from the word "go." (Actually, fleas date from the Cretaceous, when a two-winged ancestor scavenger-insect discovered that blood was not only a nourishing swill, but high on the findability scale; wings atrophied, legs grew resourcefully jumpworthy: this was the proto-flea.) Goldbarth has written — addressing both the antiquity and the ubiquity of this intimate relationship — an "Addendum Couplet": As did Madam. and pretty much prides himself on it.
