Countdown on Nine, # 7

7.
pressing this matter withholds
the body

action here is somewhat poly

a melting urethane of whatever

unlike this tongue sharing the T of light
under a smoothed over war
the roof of it unlike any substance
in windshield melt

unlike the blade shuddering the above
mechanically no
heaven, Sir--

or the pocket one with love going
into the cool of a peach
lunch yesterday is nearer
now than ever
its center
pit

death unlike that
