More from ~RestlessSands

scientistcedar, and the transparency of light
crawling through a cola bottle

you look through space
and then you look at me
and see my miniature;

sunglow, the word i use for you is
the color of premature saffron or
wild maize,

a man belly up
and being poured into it
an eon of yellow ore -
is the same wanting of living,
the same humanness broken

if i were to run my hands
through you,
i'd disappear into the ether

so long at space

were i to touch you now
it would be an old bell of sound
and you would be an hourglass
of measuring
bluehere, out of the flightless ink of fish,
the coals are moonlit-blue, and pierced
by little bodies -
       turtles -
little bodies made for brawling
in the great apricot cold -
bumpy heads and peanut shells
and silence dismantled
wherever they shift
through the sandy
dark -

every fin is a petition
for water, a body of water
to bury into
the year of cracking chestnutsyou had been milling in a library quiet
for eons

but one day you broke.

climbing from the room
as dark as a cough

barely spliced together
in your maroon scarf

and reeling like a bolt of lightning

mischief like flour blooming across your cheek,
       i watched you grow into the things you are
       and away from the things you must do

in every village you brimmed over into
was a hacking of deadwood -
       the tiles of you, swollen-oathed and butterflied;

               the long sick, fed on rosin burrs, and with a blue fanning
               below their skin, know that new feeling in you - it comes
               to
