This Fabulous Shadow Merrill Cole (bio) Across ice fields, forksmalice, blue hand famishing,unable to fist. Each thumpwell-salted, holds stung The coarse string. Stranddrifters, unbendable finger,forward, ho! A stringof snow somewhere, bone Bright circlets, latchoyster dreams. Sand crackinfinity's flush aperture.That sequester galls. Vagrant passengers squanderrondels from the sea. Calloverboard! Sure sinker,your envoy stings. Weeds Ooze no numb treasure.Dank anchored chafe.Unsanitary catch: wire basketjellied, the blood libels sing.
