wrapped in the tendrils of incense the body remembers rituals never taught
the autumn forest has always been a safe place for unfinished forms
like berries you’re warned not to taste: poisonous lips
a familiar tide of warmth washes over cold bodies and eradicates karmic indoctrination
the void reached out and i felt no urge to explain
cages dissolve in the autumn rain revelations of the mind and flesh will not be policed
i returned to bed with the monster knowing it was simply an honest being
feels like a mad dream when a pause in eternity allows for warmth and birdsong to return
lose ourselves to the vastness of the void where the subconscious outgrows morality and mortality to conquer the weakness of flesh
