Today's poem is by Jibade-Khalil Huffman

Fugue

Simultaneous Netherlands
and the simultaneous flowers

sometimes an offal. Tours
in and around the metal bar

preventing fall; last bucket
containing two days wrecks in

from the air. Simultaneous hilts
naming barns. In snow again

separately, volume of accounted-
for shells found around a mountain

extending reeds extending in theme
measure of the world gone hiding

in a "vice grip," as flowers
under cover of thread

simultaneous standing with flu
upon other flu

"into her arms," in a filmed image
major and the minor chords

simultaneous dials for one effect.
Fugue wherein two wives

having the grouse feather, having
the single pearl

lines by a burning down
roof's span. Choke of a peach pit

hinge to hang off from, simultaneous
braille broke in afternoon.
