The Roses
The house with the nick- and snigger-name Snort and Grunt . Shunned trailer-house, (pocked) scorn-brunt. Side-indented, thorn-bined, boondocked in a hollow. In a green-holler clamber-mire of itch-moss and bramble. Tremblescent ditch-jellies, globberous spawn-floss. Drupes of (dapple-clinkling) bottle-glass in trees. Strangs them old oaks of his with NEHI and liquor-pints. Magnesia! Yard-splayed magnolia-blooms, carved of tractor-tire. Milk- painted (fangle-plaited) barbwire-scapes and -vines. And -fronds. A palm-shape gold with birds at the end of the yard. Elaborated branches, branching. What is fixing to be a rose-bush caning and twining. Is leaves.
