[posterior vitreous detachment]

stratospheric
                                protraction—
                                                               decompress the
striations; reinstate
               the demesne

rapidest misshapen trouper
carves space in
the sanctum

corrosions:
rimed hives (trace errors)

I send
herons to the
                                 ashpit
                                                 spare some
                                                 reap others
