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
