frozen 
chosen 
held up to a lantern 
phantom 
handsome 
duelling by a mantle    

cherry snow falls 
scattered on your 
windshield prism 
peaceful prison 
dizzy out of 
synchronism 

bastion 
passion 
burrow in to 
fashion 
fasten 
christen 
talk instead of listen 
siren pyro 
seaside hero 
fizzle through our 
seventh zoo hour 
crazy for the 
apple bundle 
fumble like an 
aching drum bull 

borrowing my 
shower bridle    
tipping over 
mother's idol 
rusting thrusting 
peach sand-dusking 
russet turret    
cardinal thrushing 
rosy breathquake 
twilight dreambake 
puzzle heaven 
flaming severance 
country cherub 
sinking with an 
amber harum 
down into the 
winking tumble-    
weed unshaven 

down 
down 
away until the 
cloud 
plough 
sows another 
day...............
