no longer entranced by
dancing to
crash..
..land in
handshake
behind screen too bright
to be seen.
tasked in haste
to hatch
but
shell won’t
crack
while under
attack.
savor boredom’s
breath
like salted
honey
glaze my page
for days
to
distract from
poise i
lack
as
loafer baked
away in
back.
virgin to this
texture
of
pleasure
not born of
need
to
flee come
dawn
unfolds like
crown
of sparrows at their
most calm
whenever in
song.
may solace bless
your soul
dear uncle
Ant
dreams but
can’t
drag the clock
black.
untamed yet
timid
to
give of river
scant
on
fins of brazen
colors
run no real
bother
to
feeders burrow
bottom
craven light may
catch them.
Promise
that despite my
late reply
i’m
getting
by,
tho not by
much..
to try before
i forget
why.
Gored
by horns of
vices
chasing solace within
madness
of
glitch moon
spun
to
face..
to face with
no one.
were i to comply
and sign
my full name
under
skin
might you
feel
me through
veins
without need
to say?
breathing feathers
and ash
in
nap weather’s
grasp,
rapt by the
rattle
of
crickets litter
thickets
flush as wide
in cabin
eyes.
hands in the garden
