Noises Like Shadows

Adjustments in posture retain conversation,

Abbreviations assemble among pouting lips.

Cardboard expressions set an ocular presentation. 

Afternoon breaks and the painter motions bristles to color quips.

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust sculptors presume form.

An empty hallway stages the door swing, forehead forward marks wrinkles;

While  laugh-lines rise like puppet-strings.

COMPLIMENTS! 

Mouse holes for electrical plugs, glittering darkness

To stage another 

Guffaw.

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust sculptors presume form.

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust sculptors presume form.

Rubber peals deceive elastic destinations.

Instead bounce and retain the resulting ripples;

In the host’s skin.

Coffin domain found bent-neck-supervisors

Beneath an electronic billboard. 

Studying. COLORS! 

Each made of their name, 

Situated together:

An advertisement for dog chow.

Good Gods kill out of necessity.

As above

So below

Solo worship provides the same.

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust sculptors presume form.

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust sculptors presume form.

In the sawdust. 

In the sawdust.

In the sawdust…
