Circling with words
cut the fabric, dip it in glue,
more fabric, more glue
tear the paper, more glue
more paper, more words
crosshatch
overlap
over, over, and over, and over
Industrial bureaucratic conditions within the poem
Recalcitrant ghosts
Little dense clay ring for Chandler
A slab pieced, coiled demon for Asa
Fluff skinned squeak toy heart for Stan
Scrap combo beaded and buttoned dangle braids for many
Resin coin ash ball for me
