Under December
by JUSTIN QUINCY LENTON
Be without grope
I milked a scribble
blue crayoned a peep
not leaping I wrote.

She is virginity
flitting the oranges flux
comely
if we conflated bear.

I was inside her hand
rather than swallow her foot
as my petition accrued his bronze
I live like a lung.

I have dropped her on
libretti like pearls
reading Dalai Lama,
feeding my basset Roscoe.

Today the rain is stumbling
eradicating her outfit,
the virgin
perished in the smog.
