we are somewhere that gathers moss while churning butter into permafrost with dainty little hands, grown savage from wailing in prayer. we contain a noise that surrounds us. all the golden pollen of our dark gardens, swelling in the flame of our Mysteryβ¦. unopposed. we join intangible things to quicken the hardpan of our ziggurats. we hum our contusions into clouds of memory, abandoned by pain and left adrift in the eye of a grateful monsoon. culling pearls from loose oysters where the moon should be.
