dew.

trembling paleography
and former selves in the spotlight
finding ways back to the breadcrumbs
shelter, oh keep discovering stray inverse

i could write you back
keep repeating mantras
time-pressed solutions
common interests

but in this moment of our parallels
we must still divide our recourse

'someone once said..'

you could be the fossil fixture on my bedroom wall
reminding and remainder
to all deft but irrefutable lingering

options. octave. often.

raise the stake, push the blade.
bandaged less, forthright and impulsive

we live in a state of promises and tell tales
tall ships and breath baits
all to finish sooner than we took to finger shoelaces.
