wells - jerome berglund



Champagne drift…

carriage skids 

around each curve


a certain hunger

in dodged irises

tootsie pop calculations


Minerva’s prudence —

vermin fall back

with right accessory


pinwheel areola

getting very sleepy

operators are standing by


on crinkled wrapper

in black and white

Wendy looks deranged
