the summer moon pretends not to notice your unspoken rituals

beyond rusty gates the fog blooms in ecstasy

summer the sky forgets how to breathe and the world stands still

a forest recites your lore in birdsong seven moons long

vile beasts disguised as children ringing bells and laughing along the pale river

heroes devolve from the trauma and crawl back into cocoons

a meteor shower softly serenades otherworldly heresy

the gods are long gone but belief is a stubborn echo of our humanity

the sickle grows sharper with each harvest of a soul’s silence

mist and temple incense dance to the sensual song of dawn
