Echo

fear feels very down inside the streets
underside of a radially carved logo
with tally deductions and riding crop
chrome lathers the plum
glinting populist flannel
having combed a motel for ear wax
over the manual lever and snifter of
a warehouse portico in frost
skullcap obscenity tips the cherry bowl
xerox a truss crypt blew peddle by
her bagpipe duck answer
red metal squiggle by a thoroughfare
writ on a purple billboard
glued to 1 p.m. sun
