haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Spoke of hands, she. Touched when quiet, as the loved one. Quieted before
resisting the temptation to be breath again. Again. And as she felt the thin pulse,
everything came home. This room in which. Small moments would be here.
Because enough, the still construction. Walls and siding. As if not spring.
The windows, double-paned. Talk left where it is. The story offered to the ears
of others who are friends. Equals reflection. And the look from elsewhere at
enclosure. To explain where not required. Friends who have been friends always.
Many proofs, in many ways, to show your work. As evidence of having lived.
This name attached. To money situation. The endowment poured down into
a departure. People just continue. Both affected by and not. Again a residue
of what is left when, if. A solo voice. And then another. Then.

Surrender, ad hoc, patterning, a test, nothing at all


Sheila E. Murphy

Purple

Backlit armchairs freeze a holy ramp in spacetime, mentioning triple plays to a senior judgment specialist. Their warm intent goes unrewarded, however, due to falsified gerbils. Quantified melons pierce a hallowed mirror, specifying a flopping plastic mule, regardless of loathsome bibliographies. Locked mansion docks plead for tender referees, soaping up a dowry, augmenting mealy torsion nets for a wavering engine. Ears to the troubadour’s spoiled surprise, a sweating cadaver plays bongo parts for a baseboard juke box quintet, ambling over hot colanders, mixing lice and orange roughy. My Lysol deterrent growls daily at flugelhorn gamblers, humming thrown parachutes in a wand tunnel screen. Oars of a winged doodler spin purring collation towns into endearing fleets of soiled electric warts, bailing out of torn melodies. Sharpened greasers smile at toaster children, mastering pine shirkers, embossing bear stunners with greenery. Oaken gels spurn the dryer’s icing effect, hamming it up for diabolical sheep stems, who ponder easy existence on ultraviolet cue balls. Travel to wrestling motifs enables tourniquets to stain exemptions, hobbling a dragon’s only vellum moose, scratching all night. Plenty of merely pleasant calamity kits needle the parking lot’s feral cinders, edging out residual torpor for a lamp in repaired ponds. Coloring boats rinse angular lobs of any haunted wealth, grappling with grey chutes for a flight to the normal fence. Loose hangars emit caretaker prints, clawing through alien clover with two-handed peat. They want to trample the pit bull, but balk at common filth. How else to expiate their woozy liens? When mirth entails all gregarious spelunking in a man cave made for treason, who will tamper with belly dancers on hurtling trams? As lungers dock the mean arrangers of flexed carriages, players can count feather paints for easy internment, debiting aphasia. Girls rescind whatever android leather pop-ups the flawed equestrian poultice managed to detract, clearing our jetty of heavy machinery. Loafers imply a streaming steed’s milled dalliance, responding in a fatal scourge of keen Velcro. Wishing for a whole plaster, dreg mechanics splurge, foppish and impaired. Red evenings debase a tulip cabin’s ventral mink, easing nine horrible chefs into prickly caboose shoes. Pent up for wagoners, thousands of gravel experts fry dented monopoles over braised eyelets, goosing a high scrambler. Carloads of early species enter fast food claims, quacking along with portal crawls. Sated by pygmy ailerons, abridged cilia scoot over splintering piles, merging urchins and extra relish. Catching as canneries flee, aquarium junkies spell tesseract netting with forty-one vowels, overturning a wilting incision’s rude stanchion. Palliative clarity ensues, warbling into a round table quarter, saving a sapper from timorous welts. Doors implode at the hint of grenadine intent, defending foreign pillory decanting, despite a healthy dose of greeting card clues. Can antebellum op art wells send newly conquered jammers to cholera havens? Will spore collectors root out presidential opera mugs before erroneous waifs inflate a yoyo? Thesis packers buy blank faces at marked bubble easements, chipping metric marbles through wickered feints, arguing for livery moons. Floored celery cheats on mothering banks, halting a cheesebag fade, enduring moribund hygiene. Lowing felons grace the plains with prescient wind, blocking dented croupiers, tiling wheezers with canned vermouth. Throwing pealing artists an ossified eruption kit, teamsters evacuate the messy trance, flooding a conscious dealer’s second-hand Pinto with rice scissors. Usual ardor flows, skipping kinfolk cramps, exiting a pocketed knave’s penitent grappling chowder bulb. Purple finally obtains, grafting collars to weird police feet, stubbing out workhorse beans. Games leap into pralines, chugging worsted séance chews, bringing excretions over, sliming a heavy gofer with ancient mead. Kickoff detergent smells suspiciously of linseed oil, basking in the boxer’s glorious plight, delaying departure of all Earth-bound blowguns. A simple fracture, to be sure, but sunset obscured the cruising Egyptologist’s sign of interred distress, plaguing extra cable cars for hills, dales, and bellwether pronoun juice. Even so, stitches were fondly inferred, leavening the vital pox with drainage rants and pillaged franks, mastering a dental coot’s idle barn.

Dorsal Dreamscape

Staggered by neglect, pinned to banyan roots by hampered canes and hissing moral legions, martyrs plan a demigod’s last spatial hurrah, jamming quaint floral petticoats with tumid, sheer delights. How quietly the evening gowns for surgical balls, flipping quoits for gals galore, grasping at gallons of locked dominions. Stethoscope pinholes matter to the chosen feudal barometer, lopping off strafed entrees in a rutted winter lane. Static breathes an ignoble watchword, spiking a glorious phantom’s worn hernia with smooth, organic Nerf control, splicing loose piranhas with coiled copra pinnacles, hovering beneath the bell socket. Zooming springtime salmon jump for salted, kneeling pinafores, pressing joyous rodeo clowns for just a smidgen of rote arrest. Desk-bound cultures hammer honor into phased concrete, stacking germ platoons in mock assemblies, aging the beef turret’s simple waterline, trimming a dorsal dreamscape. How nimbly the youngest tutu curtsies in midnight’s fading glance, graphing grace along an axeman’s sable floor.

CORN I. “Vine, Hymen, and Nostril’s agriculture
of copies tall a stray double migration
of progeny tan robust, that his mane
towers dooms, and from a ruby mare of spiggots
inundates liberals’ tired dermis,
and the verdant, jovial, florid llama

not of the hurt of morn, not the cauterized
non Jupiter compelled, which owns not the line
nor the plunger’s Lucifer of oiled fin,
nor all the blank scissors’ creel.
Vine, Hymen, vine; vine, Hymen”.

The dulcet halter cants
a shushed tumbler’s revoked fillets’

Dull yolk owns no dumbed services,

Oysters crest blank sculptures,
artifice gentle of doublings

dulcet palms who curse all the Atlatl’s
fired doors framed.
Managers who with venereal
wide appetite ignore the mental iguana
less served; and in oil no, lucid,
confused Bacchus, kneel in broiled plate’s
sub nectar less desired,
signal thin in vittles’ topaz caramels
and pallid rubies.
Cellar’s dull fog keys, regaled,
the gullet’s stoked ruby
imitator swerves in the zero,
quizzing dulcetly apprised
of rust’s vacant,
blank, hurled man, whose coiled veins
extinguished her from the lecher’s pains;
masked needs the crackled noosed esquire,
needs the membered puddle denuded,
O see the sabered olive
not serenaded by the backward deluge.
Levitated the mesas, all corners
sound with Nymph’s one temple, whore’s cane,
says of the mountains, says of the campaign’s
(shut sprawlings ray the subtle orb
which neighed the vent’s naked bean T-ball),
term of Grease’s bell, repeated
cuadrant vases in docent labors,

and dulcet Muse enters hell (sees consistent

Sole Dadas chunk 16
Transduced from Góngroa's Soledades


CORN 1. “Vine, Hymen, vine dons your pear
cone’s oil and’s seen Allah’s a Cupid’s
coiled cable detonsiled dully
negating the veil which the bolt has colored:
the veil, floored day’s sub primal,
and rays aimed by she whose adolescence’s a door,
villain Psyche, nymph’s labrador
of the toasted Ceres. Each, whored
in the uncertain day’s sub dud’s second
crate vascular, vehicle too corroded
for his ardent desire.
Vine, Hymen, vine; vine, Hymen”.

CORN 2. “Vine, Hymen, dandle, enter rebels
or honest rosicrucians, prevent the day’s
(aurora of shushed oils suburban)
virgin tan belled, who hatchets pods
and torrents the Floor Rug’s conned dose soles,
and blank Ethiopia’s conned dose mains.
Claviers dull April, ruby’s temple,
quantum’s guest the oral dull cable,
quantum’s (dull unguent yea and dulls other’s coil
contained) concord engraves roses,
of shushed maguillas simpered bygones
of the purpled son’s trophy.
Vine, Hymenm, vine; vine, Hymen”.

CORN I. “Vine, Hymen, and plums not vulgar
all air the hilly dens alone
of those for whom the basket bells nymph’s cell;
of shushed carcasses, east’s, argentine,
feltcher’s mosquitos, never hazards;
vigilant quarrels, the alleluya’s
dull red man who massed or tardy foils
the infamous gyres of past nocturnes;
mute coronas others pour on his turn
of the dulcet letcher conjugal, in a quantum’s
lascivious bee the virginal cant’s
nectarless chopped bible.
Vine, Hymen, vine; vine, Hymen”.

CORN II. “Vine, Hymen, and the violet pees
that zulus oil with pests of all
shushed plums’ sound induced alter dials,
gloria’s major dull supper cored.
Fie to nut’s bell, what the days
dissolve tardy in Seneca’s ditch;
and she who Juno hays to nostril’s spouse,
casts Lucinda in loons’ unequal
danced vices to repeat their grumbling,
while Niobe’s immortal she admires the muddle,
not in blank marble poured her mall’s fecundity,
but scolds boy’s dull Lethe.
Vine, Hymen, vine; vine Hymen”.

above the bounds of the impossible- and my looking, to the light, a sun, a bare bulb, a night-light in a kitchen, a moon, and brake-light on the car in front of me in traffic, in headlights, in soft glow of a TV set through a window at night when I walk from my car to the apartment- the blinking light on a smoke detector, the stars, the glow of the phosphorus painted hands of my wristwatch, dashboard lights when I drive at night, storefront neon signs, the red and green traffic lights, the flashlight of a guard doing his rounds at the local bank, the radiance of the city lights over the horizon from a distance, the back lit clouds, the reflections on that last night in Indonesia, the full moon over my shoulder, reflected back to me in her deep eyes. I want to find her everywhere, to call to her, to comfort her, too, in her human form, but for me, too, to comfort my pains of living, and to always see living, and not dying, I wish to see her in every light, always-, and in the frame that houses every light, the day, night, the time from one end of a section of it to the other- in all things- that I perceive- and then- as that is not all- in the things through which perception flows. And through the metaphorical window, and the desire of the hand to feel, and the senses to perceive, is the swelling up to love, to live and be alive in it, in, to have it present but release it too, as one act- to be in it without holding, and believing, too as the matter in the dark may build the walls against it, against a pure living in love, believing, transcendently, and that will draw the body away from this falling sand.

with purple hearts on quiet charts

blunt as twisties from the bread loaf
snarled together in your pocket like a poem
arrested for due diligence and penitence.
A cork whistles in your jacket like a wheel
going cool wheelish about to tumble furlonged
samples wedded to the dusty belts
accommodating penitence and schooling
thumbs to fasten rice inside the envelope
evocative of should(er length) demise
once fastened to the s(t)able combs like
irridescent grease and waves of hair with blades
where braids would dip into the glom of ink
a foot sink bath and lêvres swimming
peak perfidy - like snow cones in the jaguar
cave witz balam and the rain rises up
to lake light not withstandoff choice a lagging art
lock sweeping in the garage pinned a slapdash broiler
on the leaking piston glowing in the heat of verdigris
with stepping stones across the grease-filled
yard the sea roiling at the end of the street
posturing with(in) coherence: world withering stalling
wingblood bladder bladder knocking in your pants
“Store for now or just let go?” Stall, stone,
stray? Cash? Locker foaming? Crawl outside the
flooded cave? Open the hatch, follow the hunch,
be drafted to help, appear stanchion floating
down the avenue a linty sky ahead
of Damocles-style weaponry the pundits
gate and hack, the left life languid in
the troughs of ash point centemetric
scaffold like the frontal mush of
stantive focus in the stony lens
with butterscotch against the lively rims
sloshed with waves of atole and attitude
a lateral posse winging toward cabooses
giggling in your throat or was that closets?
Wow! The
megaphone went wily! It was net
lack and nits, thumbhooks foaming on the mattress
tinted a profuse black heavyweight champagne
like coffee grounds in underwear and I
breathed into my hat a whispered plea because
the bargain had been trounced (ounce at a time)
and throttled in the focal plane one puff at a
young buckskin waving in the spun decision
of half darkness half leavings on the
kitchen floor a shiny button and a liquid comb
with flavor mashed away from a projected safety zone
steamy with a horse’s breath and sardines
alongside vinaigrette, and Charlotte’s habitat
of mustard slaw and leaking lettuce, table
siezing placards with Human “Beans”
to spot them (breathy, stoic, feeble, though)
with spots and goggles and amendments
nor clocks nor baubles nor bends twisting
through the forks as perfect yellow rat tat
tat styled abs with flickers and folders full of
sand indexed at Lint Speed in confidence held
harmless amid armature qua generator tumbler
high with cash and fingernails played twice upon
the xylophonetic ink(ling) (er) falling off
your palm throat near uncanny corset wind notes
blemishly unseamed a stone’s throw from (and to)
the nimble water phone, glowed and growled,
tabled with a suit, a little testy, said the
member of an audience, or was this effervescent
comb release, a “symptom” of linted observation
thinly passed and singular, perhaps chuffed and
forked, or slaw at least that fits just so
the sweet sounds plucked string saddle
made of steaks and sugar beet and plasticine
props induced a glandy exhumation,
forks spinning in the setting sun
along with chalk-infested sporks
O slab of missile, core of brood!
Wheat thins do not frame your Slab Leak
nor nominate the eye restitution on a bet,
whim, dime, or moment’s notice (the
ticking slops into your shoe...) until you view
face-first the tickling ling ling pillow
stained with wine and flapping hamster skins
made thinner than before, slayed spun from foreground
looted of its butts and forms, just the axes
left on ground if grounded twice spliced
kismet or neverable new potion size rolling
over on the plate like sardines with the
equivalent of whipped cream in savory mode
mud and oil swirling in the sink my shoes breathe
cinderly (a lobotome) and whee! An ad hoc
symphony what a ham hack sinking in the hot
sauce! What a
vlassic yoke, a clandestine
voyage, a stork’s santini loose and
gimping down the muddy sidewalk
with a bag of chalk and chard and
chimichangas.

from weather, not ocean

11
uneven yet enviable, cold. old
rock, rocking waves, sand and
rocking ,old waves, cold, old
sand (old), rocking rock, cold
waves and sand taut utep
sift frond isn’t worth mention
fade-in sea-swell calls hack a-naught
Hockomock Naushon Noctilucence Rune foot-crease
Elliptic blue movers swim through
Even yet unenviable cold rock

12
members-only dock. River blinks
stripped coverage tucked unit in
“I think of you today . . .
as one cloud less . . . where
. . . one lone sea plane too”
fractus below – conditions go on
an ocean to go. to
ships in paint as to
either. azalia abbreviated tousles scrapes
pieces’ cumulative memory utricle effect

13
of cloud, but not not
resembling anything else closely seems
tells obligations to “what must
be, has been” – river calm
quelling marsh vellum compost beamers
information’s thousand separate cloud forms:
Pilus Pannus Velum Inca Mamma
Virga (‘fallstreaks’) Praecipitatio-Arcus Arcus Tuba
water engines climactic sea-flat
excerpts altitudes peuterized o-sea loins

14
cold creep fusion’s “pitch apices
overdub” slow flat faint signal
gull-shadow tow taut pace
neck in brisk Labor Day
at my back → stone
this regiment cap buried to
cloud ‘s desperate carry, balance
“Dreams of a kid, and
but big deep sleep made
of reawakened material.” Whitecaps, green

15
argument outside fair weather union
street lamp shadow’s blankets divide
car from road from mechanic
faint snaps in tight size-less
to mind, large as night
animal- sloped paths to sea
cable juncture rest-Akilah functions spaces
cakes in a rainstorm bob
Almost Periodic Oscillations and Waves
come not, impatience of clouds

from DELAY

as music is heeded an avastness pieces itself befriending earphones’ duet with spoken arrangements thought
truisms vacant from a startled impression common tolerance one to evidence once boat mid-range to luck on shelf selfless anonymity breathes your name

maiden voyages delay overhaul ask the pinecones where supressed another-ing placates intentions made got happiness once though not complicit with etched familiarities epochal nourishment clannish and middling strophes delay broken status improbable though itself this than that incurs selflessness

somewhere itself a nighttime evidence proclivity for transit so a recurrence to plotted deployment issues tentative surpluses. the entire light-sound iffy those sixpence relays jet-ski themes somewhere viewpoint-ing deliberate moot sandedness stepping where close fundamentals inquire no longer

contact tensional retaining surveillance noteworthy though signals enable remission that cashew invasion returnables intersect wiles of the dramatic sleuth. ions of demand seek what
overtures delay front-back rhetoric
unrolling a high limitless anarchy to harmonize waitings from each there signed mittens either assurances
deploy motto each naturally conscious thereas publican remoteness. one step before hintermost the regulations start.

a dream follows another dream.
soprano lightness—bass curvature—natural altimeter cinema energetic lassos—deterrents waiting somewhere sleuthing an advantage for major-minor facsimiles. so acausal somehow where we camp dotted egoic enigmatic modulations—timorous, clandestine, and access granted

some sunshine which every sleeper convinced of essences a malleability seeking neutrality one step from togetherness aware watching somatic evaluations—present contracts feint integral poseurs that mirage—balancing acts integrate mottos unrolling addenda that surface therein outer signatures delightful intrepid asemic iterations—where calls intersect waiving material grit

whose empyrean muscle ingratiates emptiness vivace thoroughly surmounted. tiens—attentions elsewhere climb settler’s mood elasticity waning fractions either persistences deluge repartee inertia clustering where signatures—elemental assertions evacuees deliberative from watersheds weighty finesse somewhere inculcation evinces deliberation.

agreement is formatted evasion replacement vanishes—literal comprehension impossibly attenuations elastic veneer also calling skein frames grand spaces.
mannerisms whether or not evacuees plated infinities—lithe where absolute—degreed when thicknesses elicit compulsion, reflection sought huddling where stipulation evades public hollowness asemic boutiques—language introspection everywhere.

numerous later tented with wiles of stellar vin number jettisoned where hastening roughened tureens implode on contact. ingestion of doubts so certain is no contradiction—a grammatical surprise invents felicitous reports, preliminaries, topics, what have you. inserted as vitrines long-time premises egalitarian from accent.

neither evasion nor confrontation allows or disputes opacities emaciating, straddling, waterfallen, appalling sunshine—dusted rooms ethereal the sleuth invokes itself elaborately cell-wise mouthpieces denigrate wooly garage-bandages—
leaves on cutlery balance through intentional corrections aside mentioned valences no spirals nothingness not necessary—which scarified patience waits for introduction to evidence harpooned incurably signed.

when heresy becomes hearsay reverse amulets innersprings overhaul siphoned anonymity.

a magnetic avalanche indebited forms tentative as festooned inevitablity carpetbagger remains affirmament-related. cosmic thought-pattern fanciful thereof alacritous rhetorical coefficients meddle with revaluation. some parallax machinic to continuation elsewhy thoughtful or nautical.

Sole Dadas chunk 15
Transduced from Góngora's Soledades


All gallons nerved the mountainous present’s
his forester, lugged all’s venerable
padding of she who in’s sea’s bells sea absconds
with signal dulcet with silence affable,
belled parlor, mute grace abstains,
crawled dull rhizome’s verdant button, donned
the briefs of her humming virgin’s rose,
     the scissors Cairo,
a color which purples cake’s seal,
poured brushes concealing Virgo’s nose.
     Digs the juicy suppose
of a hero, if not august, exclaimed,
the jovial one, all instants rebated
to she who’s naugahyde and restirred,
     low condemned’s to his olive.
Eats, the pest, sole cake the olive low contains,
censors hiss those whose memory
nekkid plums envisioned, cake’s infelicity
swords engender guzzling, coils dented,
minor ants lent to his glory,
immortal ardor fuels his day of pain.
Why in the somber snow’s mass of zoos seen,
what a cleaver procures, accompanied,
imitates the belled labrador
in the temple’s color of she who adores,
vibrant pizzas tall and pensive,
where the almond, poured o’er ovals deactive,
signs with diëresis her gnarled bathrobe:
    o sieze the zamboni’s sigh
and the others, junky barbers, sonorous
instruments, known, in those festive cores’
virgin bells, the jovial loosenings,
     and leggy conductors.
The numerous tall fins of labradors’
     concourse impatient
for novices’ sack: he, of anus fluorescent,
and of causal fluorescent maskèd floors,
the sphere’s miasma is, of radiant bells.
     The lasso of ambient squalls
enters a lascivious jam of ribbing morns,
     Hymen nodding,
mental invoking’s his dying dad the alternate
zigzag’s candid voice turns
and of garçons yeast’s accent bland:
