bury night

by Dusk Dundler

rock as a god

yr anchor of gravity

centime drop

 

spine branch back

to well leant porous

trunks -peering darkest life

 

fluid mass

clock eye spiritus

clandestine white

 

it is pale

trace line inherent

holding own weight

 

wave crashes a funnel

cutting sleeping solitudal yoke

from land sight

 

races cannon sway

now purity of blinding white

longing vestal / naked birth

 

god does not think

in reason / time is at bay

and you are not a bird
