in the wordless silence
that slides like silk
through a nomadic night
the night takes no pause
in the delirium of slumber
dreams percolate fragility
of subconscious
as
elderberry inked sonants
evaporate into a
mildewed sky that props up
a lychee peeled moon..
I pick cereus blooms for you
and wonder, what of the tides?
Penetrating and beautifully written
