- by a monticule of the sudden dactyl
- the little wheel of the trembling
- morning foggily slips
- and vocal is the voice
- the tuning fork rasps with the pitch
- some wheel is cranking
- between the dents and the teeth
- the crescent sticks in the throat
- and the rest of the spokes is
- driven into the
- pianoforte
- inebriated
- thirst with me drink
- with me but
- the keys askew
- on spicula
- and palpi crawling
- chromatically
- higher
- sharper
- take me higher and
- drop me

- with a jab of the shrieking finger
- tight as a string
- coiled and
- rolled
- between the tuning fork's prongs and the dents
- half a tone flatter than the tremor
- of the fog
- of the vocal
- the wheel has snapped with a screech
- we'll tear the spokes asunder
- into the trembling bones resounding
- breaking through the pianoforte
- with another half
- and the fingers are stretched again
- by the keys to the very red
- cicatrices -- with the green spire
- of a key crawling away
- moisten my throat of the vocal
- raising it higher a little bit higher
- higher a little bit later
- having falled
- i will fall
- and you drink
- with me high

- like a tactile splash
- like a trembling wheel
- the morning will slip out the fog
- vocal is the voice
- the fork will tune the sound screeching
- the wheel is idling
- between the dents and the tooth
- the semispokes spear the throat
- and you'll stick the rest of them
- into the pianoforte
- in the groggy
- draught drink
- drink with me drink
- but the keys
- like flagella
- like tentacles
- will sprawl colored
- higher
- with a sharp note
- take me higher
- and sharper
- drop

- splashing sprinkling fingering
- like a shuddering wheel
- the morning will slip out of the fog
- with its full voice
- the tuning fork will croak along
- the wheel hangs limp from its axis --
- between the dents and the tooth
- the jaws are spragged with the spoke splinters
- and glue the rest of the spokes
- to the pianoforte intestines
- parched
- drink with me,
- the key
- the funiculus

- quivering the wheel
- the morning peels off with the wisps of mist
- the full-throated tuning fork hoarsely
- will chorus the wheel from its axis

- between the dents and the tooth a matchstick
- the jowls are locked and try to unclench

- the gills are constricted but lance
- the pianoforte intestines
- with the long bradawl

- barely

- like a lingering chord
- the morning has
- quavered
- and the voice crucified

- the ear's getting drunk.
- it's squeezed

- squashed and washed between the fingers
- this piano drenched in octaves
- you put the keys on your fingers depressing the pedal
- these are your exploded intestines
- their smell the reek from the throat the piano is drunk
- it has lost all its keys like gloves
- like the gloves the sound is fitting the trembling treble key
- so that the walls are crumbling molten by the upper
- octave they fall on you enlacing you with wavy seaweed
- the sea of music is grown over with water tares
- and they wriggle on the floor

- the pianoforte
- tortile
- are the strings the viscera the pedals entangled and ruined are the
keys
- the hoarse piano is broken by the wheel
- pierced by the axis the hair of sound
- with the cruors the red notes
- on the stringlets of the voice and the air
- the drunk piano falls down and repels
- the dactyls with its legs
- the fingers ruining
- the red core of the piano
- the bones
- and keys
- twisted by strings
- sing me
- drink
- howl
- the bowels
- under the cover
