from gnōstos — V. VII, The Grammaton Series
Irene Koronas
NHC II, 5; XIII, 2; Brit. Lib. Or. 4926(1)
1
The velleity in rebella
or bulb cupolas. This
symbiosis reads
from a kenotic ethos
Ublic nimbus and the trivial
quotidian burn. Xyster
an unction in remains
stirs Job’s notes, a polarity,
an ob in theodicy. Throw
glass dice.
Hearse the dart that splits
the disinter
the hack
the serpent
It is a prerogative
go go again pity
again aff aff em
Nuance assaults
2
Add bands acquire
a sinkhole
a whiprose
pour Pushkin
a vodka
Cemeteries negate Oedipus
see: Boris Godunov (boyar)
see: cut the surgeon (incision)
see: four letters
drop the enigma
uncreed the miter
ash into piles, heads,
bottles and knuckles
or add viction
a seminal uck
see: scarification
The eusocial
the infraorder
the termitic feed
3
Between impulse
and malaispree
the mad stuff
Byronics ignite
and pour equivalents
Assimilate uturals
and demisents
the common clump
cocky as a mental
wardrobe
present in the gist
benefit of gold teeth
Staple in place
the omnific idea
irons out
the supernatural
wrink
and purgatoric
as a leach
4
A quisite reach
to a nadoc
links rectivity
to dynamises’ first id
the other bulge
the excrescence
on a slick drip
on blackdrop.
A stain dilute on pap
betrays its black
and red gravity
5
The eight eye isciple
blences and escapes
with a fedit hop
over a throp chain
they humili on
raple tractates
colophon dex vii
