for M.K. & K.S.


spring comes in the gay social whirl

                                                                  δίπτυχον:: two-fold season hinge
                                                                  drawing

profit margins merely obscure:
does your billfold do all this?

                                                                  in money-runner chromatics

some spit ‘n’ polish head souvenir—
yellow metal, the focal point

                                                                  trade route Aryan migration
                                                                  theory

announce your gift

                                                                  large recurved horns

golden simmer-in star

                                                                  of or pertaining to bones

your metropolitan cake spills out symbols

                                                                  heating, a crack inscribes genealogy of dynasty

leaving fresh orange footprints

                                                                  along the detention wire
slim bee-builder-cocktails

                                                                  a thriller-dinner-party forest
loneliness-in-a-crowd-bridge

                                                                  in tap-born intersect
household-eagle-part

                                                                  of Western spectacle justice

every night and sunday afternoons the weightless

                                                                  condensation dictatorship

the very air of the house
                                                                  bows down to kings
