elation

valentines

tarnished

dna, spiral galaxies, thumbprints

stretched reaching

ribbon from the race run around the one in front

need the silence of sand
or snow
the desert in any season
something complete and utter
one bird is noticed
something quiet
let go of

the moment pangea first split
the point of human consciousness
maybe the big bang

supine

druggist at the heel
wetsword drowning
sluggish at the wheel
needles crowning

reptilian suggestion
making the battlements
making the firmament
harder to climb

you cannot dine on me
i'm not repast for you to consume
i'm not your feast laid down at your feet
for you to spit and suck and spew
you haven't been invited

druggist at the heel
fretbored drowning
rugged strands of steel
turncoats
