an extinction

                                               extra as nouns’ dramas that unfold

                   a sambal of shadows flavors a gallows’ human haul

                                what word’s yours?

say that                  allow two sorrowful protons a solo pronoun

              a porous room won’t hoard                        hands out drafts (not

draft as war’s favor        but draft as door’s sap)                 not to patrol as a puma 

                                                         fallow marsh                      arduous growth

pay to pass glass that guards an ossuary that guards a body’s flotsam

                              what for mastodons? shoot as many 

photographs as shot of Portugal’s famous tram                              to that way hold
