birdsong
or stressed hinge,
sigh of angels.
sprinkle
of bright hairs
(notes igniting the curved ear)
sprinkle
of raindrops starring light.
slow fluid seeping,
(lost potential)
mineral
tint of breath,
mouth
fruit waiting for the crush,
throat
willing to hold too much,
nerves
set to suffer for their pleasure.
wind whispering orbit,
wind urging wide relation;
the
bodied mind lost
the
bodied mind hungry
(no excuse)
something
demand
(lost gaze)
in
a blink or any guise
the
germ in the fluid blind as any bud
pointing to
its future
(no
wrest for the wary).
say yes to sequitation,
say yes to the strange pain—
—moment
of sacrifice,
font of artifice
(inhibition
given over)
