sleep under the open sky where clouds resemble symbols of our old ways
the old gods never did talk much but considered every space in existence sacred
blue hour ends when the swallow family circles the field thrice
a strange thing: a moth is only complete when it finds its flame
ritual for concern: when shadows gather beneath the same tree without explanation
like magic: eyes follow the mist until it disappears
the sun goes dark and somewhere within a prayer for rain is offered
an uninvited guest: the phantom of calamity’s stage
souls warmed by the light of the cratered moonface
