the bantering of rain
the insinuation it might snow
the mirage of moonglade
the mountain drink
the desert thirst

everything
resolves with flowers

a withered realm
a crestfallen kingdom
their copper queen withdrawing
from the bitter harvest
in the spirit of Persephone

everything
dissolves into flowers
let it tickle your fingers,
let it heat up your nerves,
let it light you up tender,
you needn't be reserved

allow it to devour you,
brave to the core you heard,
maybe you'll burn
maybe you'll learn

retract your arrow from inside me
set me free
let this be my rock bottom
of this, I plea
