rye

[extract]
where has your desire gone?
into the wilds of willow brows
combing long winded hair
spiral stitched
emerald riven
some spectral enclave
tiny verbal rifts
rafting you, rafting them, against a sea's current
farther out from your humanity.
epilogue
rolls with the marbles distorting what's underneath.
you stay awake for weeks
nothing tells you small everythings
time makes little sense,
only the crows feet tell you where you're going to.
