prayers blossom into fire and ash ready to alter the events of reality
auroras do not simply disappear they are dragged back to warm caves and laid to rest
candles hiss with delight and the black of wax drips down chains to kiss flesh raw
clouds peel open like raw fruit revealing the sweetness of day
after dawn the bare earth downloads lightning into its maw
from the forge of nothingness silence is constructed to quiet the minds of flesh
mercurial ghosts linger summer’s corridor with solemn designs
disintegrate into the nest of your arms and the warmth of your lap
after dusk the last rivers of light shape frail bones
