brittle beneath the confliction of a soft and strong structure
perfectly still but ashen enough to drift in the wind
drops of salt that flow like morsels to taste past lips
folded in half once every several days to shed vermillion and renew
silent with the thud of a bass drum tuned to an individual eternity
insignificant to a dying star burning light years away
and a hungry giant within a single chaotic orbit
