I presume

hell to pay

neither analogue

unattributed
fantastical--what do we make of

shrouding a cross?
sinew figure
herons

jousting sirenians
avenge extinction
signs clear

revelation orans
a flair a knife teetering
the rim of pail a key hangs

a dove
farthingale
the cathedral its arson

vault to this dolmen
Down by the banks
preaching to stones

looking
I could stream anywhere
the townsfolk witnessed

a miracle         they saw
clear water icons
first poems

high obtuse
anonymized pages
that conceals perverts

Draw
