Resurrected souls in a fragmented December sky
—particled light —
where motes of childhood nearly materialize in a memory
{A near miss | I still miss what I can’t remember}

For every degree in seasonal descent,
a fathom of cardiac blue reverberates
Lungs that stutter to a stolen gasp
—resuscitate—
their rasp scratching another hash-mark through a long-standing DOA

Each spike in temperature,
a new flirtation with death,
but who knows my body better
than an eye always studying its art
a new flirtation with death,
but who knows my body better
than an eye always studying its art
Peripheral existence,
is framed by gilded leaves of mapled fringe,
sounding a stepped applause
with the ascension of a concrete sky
is framed by gilded leaves of mapled fringe,
sounding a stepped applause
with the ascension of a concrete sky
Where blue jays scrawl their pitch in the magnetic pulse of a compass upset,
And Life gives laughter complete with an umbra
And Life gives laughter complete with an umbra
Magnolia velveteen
Lilac green
Daffodil and crocus
Shots fired
Lilac green
Daffodil and crocus
Shots fired
Widowed roses of a blue point fuchsia,
A type O negative red
A type O negative red
Tempered frost,
Shouldered fog
Shouldered fog
And Sakura soprano scales the puddles still
As caterpillars in 8mm reverse inch
—larvae | dispense with reality | unbirth—

A Monarch’s cyclone,
heralding a head-on collision
—cranial windshield spiderweb implosion—

Winter in His pitch wool peacoat,
presses the opaque buttons flush,
surveying all to be leveled by His reaping

surveying all to be leveled by His reaping
Primavera in Her embryonic dementia,
Her watercolors bleeding beyond fractal outlines,
beneath helicopter vibrations
—rupture hallucinations—
Her watercolors bleeding beyond fractal outlines,
beneath helicopter vibrations
—rupture hallucinations—
That fell trees,
scattering the funeral lace capped caws of obliteration
scattering the funeral lace capped caws of obliteration
An apology of instrumental longing
{bold cello parentheses}

It’s only blood | A butcher’s apron
Cardinal flecked midday snow
