...black under nerve-swaddled, a burnt
.thistle grows upward star, tarantula legs,
......her inchoate figurine caresses,
..her gyre in the hourglass’ swivels
....................stirring-up
....whose meek one cow;
..a cow brings milk to my milking pale
...................skin where black seeped,
..accidental: ruddy: filling pores--
.....once faveolate--with sap

.....[suspect to play out the charade
......of milking more than I can drink
...........nevertheless, ancestral tradition
...............is a fine-fed precursor;

it thrives, and thrives then
thrives again off the given,
murky vino]
