3 Poems
by Leena Kizilbash
Rather emphasis orients,
Bustles inflame, engravings root.
Doubt collides.
Bold, active body angle, upright
Over,
cede,
trundle,
fingers under fabric crease.
Geography of thighs, magnetic muscles snag, fuse, meek.
Tentacle, timid touch, rune notes pursue.
Tilled ground,
plow,
plant,
draught,
tumultuous torrent.
Coup.
Electric Wrap
Sinking roots, violent, violet, fused
Recoil, revolt, contingent factors cite
Claims of absence presented on signed documents.
More domains dispensed in pensions.
Offshoots resembling guises
garnish and side dish
Reluctant harvest,
dew ignition,
wind soup pollen pepper.
Source sentiments divide logic to conditions.
Symbol,
pose,
description,
research references,
Grid, order, fix, fluid individual factors.
Chance horde, On, oncoming, broadcast via satellite baubles
Barrier, citizen, ceremony, traditions of disagreement
The character of present in patents, contention.
Extensive compress punctures through institutions
Communication, coal, match stroke dispatch, commerce credited economies
Egg decades radiate in half-lives.
Remedy probe of a populace
Distance from sudden illness, depression, recession,
Womb market acquisitions, spawn
corner,
grow.
Sanctioned countries transport barrels, crude, cool liquid, crud
Sandscape, offshore, inland, wheels of bone, skeleton fed industries
Life expectancies double in a century,
Erosion, revision, arctic oil plastics, as of resources barter and bait,
intermittent switch of category.
Net of hierarchies strain to dissent, coil, ascent, convulse length
Reserve of evasion, aggressive compromise darts, mobile, nuanced, dense.
Limits loosen to plaque, bric-a-brac belief assortments.
Town History
Form,
myth,
drapes,
line blind light.
Melted
hours,
stone wall night.
Automatic alignment of fate like climate
Murmurs
of storm
whisper in patches
Less of,
like,
Sponge pattern mold, shapes silhouette
Counter exclamations in the language of crickets
Slacked flight, vegetable height, crowds of crows
Sub-
Scoop, cup, sort to clusters
Pin-tipped spindles curve in the middle
Stock animations of a functional system scintillate.
Blank blaze phrase on fat scraped vellum.
Propaganda praise on pamphlets and stone tablets
Mag words amany.
Territory strands of rope plates.
Lava rifts, quake quakes, mountain rises in inches embrace
Populations move to meet, trails taxed in disease, immunity assimilates
Omen, augur, oil extracts rubbed on aches
Oxygen veins of eucalyptus, rose hip, rain.
Paper factory secretes bitter by product clouds.
Hold your nose when the wind blows.
