petty and pathetic, insofar as when a wreathed breath brings the being to the brim of each death-defying word,
a woman. lying naked, nailed to the Earth, burning auburn-bright from windows a wraith unannounced without a diadem even, consoling the heavy lark of the doused dark with something weightless swinging against the boughs — shuddering after a great fall from presence to heart's pompous flare. flat is the world and light, the bendable one:
laugh, laugh, brave the hill and behind the bramble, the dimly lit foliage you are there from the tumble: an aureole simmering in the unbeknownst.
