"Operations" To assemble the lily. Gloss half-smeared slips like a thumbprint broken through sweet glaze; the visible hymen flaps; a sky funereal peels from a sloping pond hot sun beats or mains rupture plenishes. The confectioner's system purrs easily: summer stripes & smash, do to construct flaked out, the numbed inquisitor of feeling propped their water plate. JCBs shall batter, cars shall rend & groove natural piety's cover, circulate in fine fettle. Sugar gushes plentifully. This kidney island, poor Ind, which half- slipped on sweets unwrapped, powered with cane trash, stayed discovery, waits insulin now turns its sweet to plenty turn to the clear inlet pain, filled with Arawak ghosts people a clear glaze, neither slave nor indentured, dead processors of sweets wired its virginity. Petals rattle & smart, rewire together proof for the technician's fingering green stairwells, green detention doors slamming into a kelson swinging low one after another, endless decompression, & never a breach to break out through.
