Imbroglio :: Adrian Odessa Federspiel

How much of your blood is [ ]?
Pin let [ ] down / let [ ] go/ damaged
—imbroglio
on 25 a skin mysterious yet
while expectant for [ ]
change in [ ] other cannot
see then [ ]
why see in [ ]
asking [ ] how much of your blood is [ ]?
Hormones foregone by time
[ ] an addiction in passing of [ ]
of a loved one of [ ]
of a trickle of [ ]
change through with new/now doing of [ ]
on the level of [ ] blood of [ ]
a madness in [ ] a mutual blue
with skin as holier than thou that [ ]
the I / eye closed creation [ ]
that [ ] on [ ] sweats
below, awkward, unaccustomed
[ ] life as [ ] always being a [ ]
rose-point in [ ]
right direction
[ ] order to undo the [ ] done justice
hive-wrapped in [ ] averted
from [ ] purple button outline U
with point of confession that [ ]
the booth was [ ] wood too
ears too numerous, location too cramped
whitened with [ ] strewn threads
a desk whose joists were [ ]
had fallen on [ ]
one side; shards of
glass dipped in
mercury, cooled such
that we toggle our bodies in its gaze
we are thankful did not/cannot evaluate frame
save for spraying helpless with [ ]
energy across surface writ [ ]
remains from whole digging
hole digging evacuate frame
written runic scrawl
across accumulated bodies in [ ]
I cannot [ ] keep eyes from [ ] distraction
distraction for [ ]
a half honeyed tea, half heatedly drunk
a leftover cake forced
gullet accepted what illness bereaves
the first gift from [ ]
taken in [ ]
segments w/out [ ] handfuls
toward pates lingering
second shot of [ ]
of whiskey on the first [ ]
the true first gift from [ ]
says I should take [ ] as privilege
for [ ] ascending the stairs in [ ] stead
tour with obvious brandish
such that [ ]
only direction to [ ]
brushed hand
on descent to [ ]
so that potato could be [ ]
entertained so [ ] a roll of fat from [ ]
bougie food could [ ]
[ ] could bare witness to [ ]
check without markers
no doubt taken as [ ]
shying away from [ ]
the undone dialects at [ ]
the perils of distance
one nearer than one
both shoulders line [ ]
[ ] triangle in [ ]
slouch so [ ]
eyes cannot [ ]
embraces repeated by request/
showered with [ ]
praise so [ ] diametric
to one whose [ ] not enough
an always from [ ] running
trying to turn the other from [ ]
while I/the Other refuse
[ ] to write of another [ ]
let gone day
shoulders still reach [ ]
despite mine eyes being
faced from [ ]
away from [ ]
a jealousy long forgotten.

without a fledgling fear of being [ ]
found out as [ ] compared to [ ]
how much of your blood is [ ]?
despite a need to—
Re: identity
imbroglio undone
for a life with [ ]
that life imaged, always immaterial
a dream not deferred but [ ]
unned, made imposter, impossible obsession—
a dire Real
made I now animate painting
a memory of nothing
an embarrassment embraced
caked culprit forgery
in measured words by [ ]
an ugly [ ], an ugly [ ]
an ugly [ ], an ugly [ ].
