Hush month
hush and drench and crowd and pile and
leaf and boil and nod and drat and
shunt and crawl and phew and nord and
bing and torn and glued and fount and
row and clout
you could peeling in the sander
you could shotting in the stumbler
you could welting in the murder
you could smelling in the luber
bolt and shout
mortar wrestled past your throat you
cuddled napkins nested out the
cubesteak jumping faucets with the
goat you corned on the street last month
