Tess Patalano

Try (Pragmatic Version)
 
Go to the valley
 
            from which you wish
 
to dodge       the godling.
 
Illuminate the      silver tongue     by licking and promising
 
the process while dragging
 
the light source.
 
If you require all        of the eclipse        on a flower        use the 
 
cloud all
 
function from the mole hole.
            From the reckoning missive            select meow.
 
Open the staircase.
 
This is where you want       to put       the knee-jerk       blessings.
 
If the function is a seducer
 
overstep lip service and replace with a laugh reel.
 
Bundle your extremities      into the unabridged        version of yourself.
 
All types of      permanence can be peddled         in this way    including   sink, your,
 
teeth, in             and hard.
 
Simply bow
 
towards the frame            containing the symmetry        of differences and
 
run from the                                            procedure above.
