exhaust of night's guttural snarl
sleep, with its fixated eyes
break the silence's dagguerotype.
edges of the moon fringe
until its fingers sort out
plenitudes of configuration:
ignition upon contact,
consummation upon acquiescence,
pilgrimages within unmoving juxtapositions;
suspended on intimation,
void's hands swirl in depth
lithe like a leaf, falling intimately on
the ground: my body's collapse
to surrendering machination.
it begins swollen to the full
and ends, aching,
yet unfazed by the untenable quicksilver
of mind's pompous meander to a field
where it so subtly blows,
the wind in all spaces.

exhaust of night's guttural snarl
sleep, with its fixated eyes
break the silence's dagguerotype.
edges of the moon fringe
until its fingers sort out
plenitudes of configuration:
ignition upon contact,
consummation upon acquiescence,
pilgrimages within unmoving juxtapositions;
suspended on intimation,
void's hands swirl in depth
lithe like a leaf, falling intimately on
the ground: my body's collapse
to surrendering machination.
it begins swollen to the full
and ends, aching,
yet unfazed by the untenable quicksilver
of mind's pompous meander to a field
where it so subtly blows,
the wind in all spaces.
