WHIMSY
the madrigal, volume iii
polesworth
by j.w. summerisle
egbert's nunnery drinks
up the cell toothed
green & damp
with flowers full of
sun
masons
wither granite &
float full fast
on the grass unable
to withstand its sky
or a god so vast so
butter-flown &
bright so
yellow & so
barleycorn with light
