“Fishing for Comlements 2” © Edward Michael Supranowicz

 

Blotted Staysails

Aced. the hold. out
the sequence. no delineation of motion.

I in three folds
become undone. delivered in range. the

time to underknow as
understatement. I have found your message

though late. no act.
image. clock hands and knots. the

replicating machine is still
moving. filled, the holes. am target

the skin for flaying
a closer view. with spars in

containers. the thread loose
in counting. I as founding in

liquid our placement. virtue
outside. wandering. the blots tightly turned.
