Three Pieces by Heller Levinson

nostril ladder spittoon bathe lozenge silk

the leather

of

space

potentialities pucker for purchase

irregularity suds

mixed company

the fruit of

compliance

shadow stravage

unsealed                     unsubstantiated

         peeled from surface

gone askew            chortling

unstrung

a shadow unfolding     re-

composing as

non-affiliate

a lurk

in consummate

consideration

smoke lavender

jodhpur joust              rubs

          pleat periwinkle

skin-scented joineries,   , flush

with intimacy,  with

keyed murmuration . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

parcels congregate

embellish rotation . . .

. . .

wind as

suffix
