grave pour l'humain

just slowly. planet proofs of earthworms. a remodelling. spirals. green
capacity and gyral function. their simple pageant of access and reject

                                              with an apology. come back to
the cloudlight

and the wasteproduct that yleno breathes. holy rose in the cloisters
of a monastery. mess of riches. not an aesthetic protection. holy rose
that once climbed the walls of ethiopian churches

and pinksilver-petaled their graves. fallen notices. their thereness
for thought. in all its rests. shiver of whether and evolution. appalled
velocity of dreams. deep roaring

         in the seed an embryo
         cooled by the shadow
                  of a treesparrow

         nineteen leaves turn more smoothly
                  than nocturnal telescopes

                         things arranged on a porous recollection. things else
to coloured. the strangerness of strangeness. featherfalling moment
to develop a simultaneously phaneric and cryptic research
almost unlike the representations. and may she refresh
the overhearted with the sparrow's shadow "Femme hantée par
le passage de l'oiseau libellule présage des mauvaises nouvelles"

retreating from the heavy to a hum. her ringless hands. the to
becoming an and. possibly yleno's metabolism. workwomanly
selection of sequences

                                 her riddling hands. aged by accumulation
recalled hands dispensing a hypopathic mixture. no binomial no graft
no illusions. in europe. crossing a past and the immediate present
for a continuous intermittence

                                    the silence of a room. an alteration
of generations. missing letters she cannot answer. but finds a use for
line ashes

somewhat lamellar and latent. her day ghosts blow out the light
in knowledge. she fixes departures. dispersing arrivals (a whisper
of stinging flesh. tenderness slipped on lips). more departures
than meetings. across these inner winds. appropriatively
and apologetically with an analogy also. caring to the sea. see not
the end. but the storms. brewing an axology. they will loose. the
acting edge to kiss and buffer living "Femmes au bord du lac à
la surface irisée par le passage d'un cygne"

three cards later

         somewhat liberated and lustred. imaging. the fragile question
retreating from the heavy. politudes learned by the heart. tenderness
stilled in spilling. a sexual pageant of archaean and recent
imbalances. sourced and multipled but left to a discretion
the introduction of frills. a floating. an outcasting. caressing a petal
yleno loosens a bare expectation

                                                disordered dishevelled appearing
to all. sounds of several. the to becoming an and. importand
murking the measures. in transexts. their slowly digest to the letter
her mistery

                                                    nell or resentiment. assuming
the second place and third. from a conversation weeding in the pixels
clarity of murdering awareness

                  nell or racination. good profile for recalling
just ambiguously. fingers twisting the fringes of finality. to forego
a

                                             O

they visit feelings together     freedom to approach or reproach
     the petals expand and translate the colour of absence

                      the accumulation of time     they visit
deplacements together     the petals expand and translate the colours
of absents     a tea cup falls to the floor but does not break
     a diversification     good profile for the living pencil     their words
digested provisionally     mirrors on the walls of tomorrow reflect
the injured titles "Femme révant de l'évasion"
