something heretical in our sera a peeking thing, half mischievous and i, trying to see if you are my mirror if you recognize the streak in me as your own something familiar smelling like the sweat beneath your arms the glossy glint off your scleras the trail of forest on your body heretical something wild in the the skin that slips beneath my hands like a many-worn silk of some old god like a selkie would feel about the centuries old earth and the neverchanging of days, darkbrightdarkbrightdark something freeing about the sting of winter air in my nostrils something ripped away from my long exiles in the city something replenished in the true empty fullness of a silent tundra a dirt-covered snowbank a grey iceflow on the water something dissident and infidel about your soul and mine together something potent in our marrow something wild and freeing and dying

dissident, to viridity
something heretical in our sera a peeking thing, half mischievous and i, trying to see if you are my mirror if you recognize the streak in me as your own something familiar smelling like the sweat beneath your arms the glossy glint off your scleras the trail of forest on your body heretical something wild in the the skin that slips beneath my hands like a many-worn silk of some old god like a selkie would feel about the centuries old earth and the neverchanging of days, darkbrightdarkbrightdark something freeing about the sting of winter air in my nostrils something ripped away from my long exiles in the city something replenished in the true empty fullness of a silent tundra a dirt-covered snowbank a grey iceflow on the water something dissident and infidel about your soul and mine together something potent in our marrow something wild and freeing and dying
