#declivity
Dull throbbing twilight. I bit my tongue so hard it bled. A voice spoke: said she'll be in Europe, unmerged. I will be in Europe. Take this moment alone to hide behind the earth. Pain as an open door, forward motion encouraged. Written word repeated today: begin your _year_.     Robed in fluid, and in hurt, obsequious dead anchored In dusted pillars rise. ​ An object held motionless by the sun’s gaze. A vital outpouring of stillness, as ninety degrees of intensifying steps                             cascade like waterfalls.
