I blue the patter
speak another year unseen
phosphorus peeled
lavender surrounded & marigold against spine
such spruce I name while walking blue glances oak
lingering unable to lift light
my unseen girl animal
shivering I try every favorite corner
& time holds time herself


the wolf is howling flowers blue as animal
every remembered touch lifting
a woman / a deer
holds the child of me surrounded, I desperately
nest three lives trill each light inside
you too know I am in her
with her
we have crossed & spoken
