seeds of night drift free in dark air
a shadow holds the spring forest hostage: in silence
light drains from eyes: limbs go slack and nothingness erases the passage of time
ripples cease as cleansed waters reveal the prophecy of a realm unseen
darker planes of existence: spirits and fungi birthed from decay
crown shyness: the canopy opens up to the hard grey sky
spring after the rain the rift between humans and the wild grows wider
noon light shadows shrink beneath the gaze of the banyan tree
extinction protocol: shadows collect in a basin hidden away from the sun
