sticky notes

the smooth muscle
of hours constrict;
we thin out,
squeeze through
in versions,
tide volume,
high time
in scribbles.
we install fires
: think in minutes
fresh with scholarly
angst, thinning out,
scuttling through
in patterned
intimacy
flowering harsh
in arches,
flooding numbers
in fury finding us.
fat side, finger
of soon.

decontaminating
faces. Let us
thin out, fall through
temporarily through
heart’s cartridges.
misconstruing
answers. file up
to free find themselves
multiplicity multiplicity
one one
article this
article that
why bother?

colors pump in
pump out
thin out
stutter through
as secrets
muscle memory
rearticulated
electrical
similes
(like a wish
like a why
like awake)

fear, stylized
numbs humbly
fright fetters
(hark hark
we sin on
the second)
sticking tears to
wired ohms
flaccid paste
sets, mouths
wait, wait, wait
letters unfettered
ohm pump
flat out faceless
to the touch
the taste

we’re fresh
we are fresh thoughts
to be carried
down stressways
down crying
weeping
thinned out
through fists

timeless awake
mind finds,
its celestial shears
re-polarize
to pump through paper.
ears pursed
lips slam in lakes
ears quivering
kiss, plucked
time tunes
strings of wind,
chords,
white sailing
through us.
mouths to peer into
find frames
read teeth
in sequence

free reason
unattached
flattened out
through thanking us
in whimpers
fortitude
a dime a day
tied to a dozen
what’s fresh
is frozen
load plain tray
careers up
lotus: bloom some
fear no finger
weary of watching
flesh in a flash
bloodied tincture
winter pools
office hours

weird, thinned out
to sound through
in remainders
torn carcass
sunned on
thinned out
lettered on
fanned out
grass grows
openly, on old
sounds, daring
us to flash flesh
pink swims
held dear to tear ducts.
let a frown please me
home is a duct
we peer through.

loop the loud around,
coarse.
lettered blackness
night sweeps through
mind’s marrow
thought stares
in arrows, brought
back, wedded clever
let the beam
please me, be a
second, lose one,
gain days in
mouthfuls. feel fullness
in a thinned out
cartridge to
free fall through

tight squeeze the picture
ring around
in wheels, it’s cozy
loud sweat
thin passed through
grinning spaces
blooden us
to hold the
cold in
cheek to press
up against
mannered paces
strum on heart’s
case hardened feelings
thin out
squat through tubes
to feel humble on
spellings, in threes
froth through
clenched teeth
typed creases
brim up, to
taut lips
letters breathe
tongues capitalized
to flesh out
their work-related
unmentionables.

I like it; not sure why, though.

I'm intrigued by the theme of "(word) out" (flattened out, thinned out, flesh out) and "(word) through" (squeeeze through, fall through, temporarily through).
