The Julep in Juniper

Standard

His ears, a the back of his head.

his forehead.

His hair, a the back of his face.

his foreface.

His smile, a the curve of his mouth

round found mouth

his foremouth

I am watching him

Climbing over a porch

whistling, the julep in juniper

and he’s an improper servant of the law

my lord,

I’m served the sentences that played a your lips,

with my own free mind.

Climbing over the tree,

dangling,

he is an immortal messenger of the law,

I am a pleading to the witness to your eyes

on my own free mind.,

and I am staring at the watch,

and,

slipping through the cool dew

with ice blue pools,

and the rules of life and of lying

rules of smiling and dying

pairs of x and y

inwardly wise, not without the contradictions,

in sprawling grass,

his smile, o the curve of his mouth; alkalinity

and the maze of dust left on the post, the

way the air brushes over the everywhere,

touching nothing

just being strung along and along.
