Tuesday poem #186 : Sean Braune : untitled

lapsed gradient
A turgid pli projects [the]
[its] cenozoic lies, convex
[as] curious plastic equality
            tarry tableaux  :
            try holism, tired
            misery
            numbness ,
               the inferno
[night]

i’m
          voltage
