Thomas Lowe Taylor -- THREES

***************


Littered shorts are not remove or stain
but halter at the fold, no mere covenant
are spilt, no mere allocation in yr heart

But spoke aside, intern at spoke internal
or shuttered out from what was there before
you were sentenced beyond doubt itself in

sentimental glooms the rover peaks what's
signed against the terms for light you
called again no moving hours detain.

I'd swarmed aside no foreign terms were
alloyed formost among but skeined without
what's allowed beyond the roomer's shout

was his own release at further incremental
louts do former leins resolve from lesser
tomes a flighter in the risk which has these

linter palm his corners' home or dental
time his hours spent which culled struck
at looping swarms his honor's realm.

What's claimed his flume or pertains without
them one's hour in sensed withdrawl, was closer
here than not, buttressed in within yr hearers

claps are dunced their own restitution's hours
they are set, but calm against at pride or
stone to hours met again not without pity

but claimed to open hours bent for shorter
gaps which call them out, or meant too soon
his flowers went or futured-in, and held.

What's power stalled from scullion's tents
in other ways from scatters at light no other
sentinals light, here against outer terms to

swell deep winters witness them beginning in
these are somewhere near yr liners melted spins
to further signs, are messages or more terms

linger at these healing shapes with more
content begins too at holder skins, then
as what's newer blood loads toward you.

It measured-out no seams at inner penetration
his anchors wove some eats at score from now
their hours went by too soon from here to

the day's homes in color spent not seeming
forward into shouts the cold air along you
hoping from somewhere that's not allowed

but hears your heart beat, now, again is
spoke to showers plus or nearer, looming
dusks the fortune has these names aligned.

threes which clear scale do no more than
passion clinging there but scored too late
the bluster furthers them, allowing sips

at lighter pools your own autos, relief at
edged escarpments reviewed to shores lingering
at groups were outered links the duskers

plum, from gets to slight flavor, a lot
or sunken dog, a pooler at whim and rent
and then ally to light, the former skins.
