I swept the pink dirt from the grounds beneath the apologetically heavy saturated grass pursed my lips and blew it into the cloudy cushions of my blushing hands then swallowed it all whole one single gulp of its chalky séance sliding down a dry kind of water slide slipping itself around in its flamingo floatie almost-falling from the grooves of my throat spinning in the fuzzy nostalgia of the circles it made around my feet this morning one thousand times over zooming speedily past the burnt oranges and half-hearted blues again and again leaving crystal-clear pentagrams in the split open wakes of dusk all of these tiny little pleads these gloomy promises dissolving themselves into pale ashes dipping their hair into a thick murk taking flight with two feathery and forbidden midnight arms spread only to rebel against the wind or maybe to hover tower One million feet— above your scary-big shadows small as ants from up here.
