Poetry by Meleager

5.136

I want to cast a spell of resurrection
everyone

blurred waiting right here
what do I have to do

how to obscure the blue glue attached to the tooth

this is a stunted object to something speaking

Heliodododododododo
jammed mineral feeling on the inside of the decompression

caught in summer

again I’m here for I believe tomorrow
the circle crusher puzzled

a biped in human rain in this size
people foil also their naïve places

lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, the setup is in the head

vapor laden

unplug the one wheel out of the bouquet
also dark carillon involvement

kerplunk
always I’m soaked close to the painful brightness

p.s. the last line two people

again at a loss to attach a sponge to the place name

botanist has a hand in the palm
friendly giant

show bracelet filled from the outer moat

quinacridonequinone

5.137

people dropped in the case of the plum child actor
Ostrich

a singing cricket, you are kept at your uncle’s house
Groove

this scene is to draw the burden from Nick’s mind

others were and remained worrisome
cute gamut
yawn

Zeno
ice ax made of coffee beans

Terra Cotta
a night out in retaliation for the dawn raid

a day to eat pumpkin in the bath

the other scene rests ants on a Neil fur in his apartment
