rise
& fall
of species

read carefully
hands over fist

primordial
& proud

seethe

oracles eloquent

testament
or truth

goes
over head

held
on

to body

tight

rarely look
backwards

give gift
naturally as narcissus
near pool

stand
waiting for water

heart
refusing to function

hands conceal
all else behind

conception clear

takes all
night

to explain

on
prescription

chase

chase dragon

elaborate under
interrogation

break down

wisdom wounds

itself
not above
but always below

share shelter

smell
blood
& bones

fight for night

straight
from body

close eyes
& read

between lines
& grids grow

in valley
you were born

go down
by river

wait on bridge

ground
zero closer
than you think
