Frankincense, hot cloves Smoky perfume, like alcohol, gasped Smooth, heavy, an intangible gravity kissed onto eyelashes Covers and spices in flower, alive Gasp after gasp of sweet tropic smoke Eyelashes fluttering, started birds returning A haze as purple as blood, or nightingales, or blood.

Dreaming Song
Frankincense, hot cloves Smoky perfume, like alcohol, gasped Smooth, heavy, an intangible gravity kissed onto eyelashes Covers and spices in flower, alive Gasp after gasp of sweet tropic smoke Eyelashes fluttering, started birds returning A haze as purple as blood, or nightingales, or blood.
