Melanie Noel
after John Keats
Sloth winter blue lira today more itself yesterday
Open and opener the sham dung-colored wren blameless wren
wren: knocking on the house ,fell behind earthquake
halo Gold lowing room of first, and next meridian interrogative
the wire doves huddled in the rain of pods camouflage of empty manes
