Frames

Mastery of misery missed pressed for time 

Pumpernickel bread full of dimes

Rhythm and reeds teething rhymes

Dreaded tripometry reading tags

Esoteric statue freezing rain

Soaked in rectitude loose frame


Nails always fall out

where the drawer meets 

they are tiny nails

and I am not sure how a hammer 

ever hit them.


Pressurized frog bath boasting grim leashes

Ketamine river snake hopping on one foot

Pews and desire

Thirds and wires

birds are sitting there

as always

patiently.


The wires 

black and drawn

across the canyons of the alley

make a picture frame

of the sky.
