Poems
by Irene Koronas

 

calotropis

 

crumble ayute peaked out

by distilled holler. nose sacks

 

scant ambition dents hypothesis.

 

no vessels match mimbres pots

the way lizards dot horn needles

 

greasy anise

 

do not expect anything from perforating

toads or from thick blade

 

only a scrap edge implicates use

 

 

bambusa

 

 

crude effi made from lumps

with groove vaginas

 

cut equal in adumbrate

design. a nut hole

 

basin the tamarish walls.

in three crooked lines

 

vertex bends water, tucked

under a rock, figures gone from

 

one tavaput to another. the skull

pit farm. willow makers

 

boat yucca strands.

cuphold bores their side

 

interlock triage tick

seven times its weight

 

chockstove wedged in a crack

transmogrifates a giant

 

gibbon footed ledge

 

 

alstonis

 

 

during the first drain

during the first interian

 

pygmy forest scarp reticts

the ephemeral lakind. 3 appear

respectable metates before excavation

mound 7 (map3) was ungraved grama

and bush mukly grass, room 31, 38

along section d (fig1) leaks.

 

the early phase contours bedlow

surface as shown on map 2

 

interpolate sectional elevation

activity alters erection

 

 

borassus

 

 

feature 1 on sterile caliche

laid soil was averaging 0.7

rounds in plan straddle

the ridge evidence remains

in gap inference. the centric

connect of radicals. six arc #’s

112 plot for the missing
