cracking ripe fruit open on a rock | peaches |
sensibility | wood slat |
white light so hot it's blue and purple and healed and gone | blooming insistently without time |
crumbles in the cleft of my sightline | soothes and quiets |
gentleness finds me a steeple in the trees | heavy slate calcified to the sternum of a cliff |
fraught and vital | demanding and sacrosant |
everwatchful stone fruit thaws slowly on the bough and falls on strings bound to the meridian | [ ] leaves only on the smoke, flattening into the lax and glassy pinks of an early dusk |
watch and pray | the way loudness can hold everything |
i dream of open land chapped and bare | the young feel love certain like a palmstone worried over by an ancient stream |
steam rolls from the breast of a trembling heart | sugar pane |
combustion | industry |
steam | red earth grooved like a split lip |
lay your perfect faith over my outstretched arms | [ ] lounges in the notches of a slope burning violet in the fresh light |
give me over to worship the slow pitch of body and brutal earth | dive/dove |
aged and made more gentle with time | heaving bellows |
divine service setting 4 | cool water whispers in the narrow crag, lacing your body to mine. we share a brilliant swollen light, expanding forever in the smudge of twin handprints in the frosted glass |
saccharine | rich |
chemtrail tracks the nosedive | peppercorns |
dull shoots of warped timber gather in the melting seafoam | sticky pineapple rings |
leave me to my own devices | brine |
giant white flag | glory in the mushroom cloud |
splendor and heat | power setting |
the bottom of the ocean and the ceiling of the theater | meet my eyes in the mirror |
i don't notice the sheen | fat duck roasting on the spit |
delicacy | life after love |
oak tree folded at its waist | the altar of a natural death |
drawing blood from ocean foam | siphoned |
how deep the well runs | fertile ground |
fog making the riven side of the mountain clearer | old woman on porch |
fog burnishing the cliffs | blusters |
