we were often deceived by rabbit clinging to dresser

we were often deceived by rabbit clinging to dresser

we were often deceived by aliens arriving in folded shirts

we were often deceived by else’s mouth kissing damp murmurs

we were often deceived by their ambiguous wound

screams slanting we were often deceived by abundant thistle

cassette scraping we were often deceived by cleavage, she wasn’t

we were often deceived by else’s mouth waiting for rhododendron phrases

we were often deceived by canvas spattering in ambiguous wound

we were often deceived by accumulating ruptures

we were often deceived by chairs moaning for identical clogs
