Wavering fires hurried rust bound silence to delight thunder and tremble ashes.Their unkempt madness puzzle and forsake reason like tear-swept thorns quickly forgotten.Between indefinite promises cleverness jealously laments unbridged wonder.Embellishing sighs brush and contrapose renewal. Deserts learn green abundance from seasoned joy.When fallen, ascend as neighbors until butterflies flicker comprehension.

“Quiet Harvests”
Immiserate nerves press listening calm forward like freight concealed voids.
“Capitol Defense”
Fulcrum levers ferment toxic drinking. A saddled city gaping to malaise Endures conjunctive arrows beckoning Curtained arms hasten on your swing best days If blind fogs coat the revealed injuries Like tendered troubles drawn to replace bad And daily deals convened from new queries Address brave clairvoyance as being mad. Forgive belching doorways retreating close. […]
“Invisible Doubts”
Contrarieties beg as impatient afflictions to burn poured faces.
