exorcised

invocation

a foam gatherer

waste deep

salt slabs

healing stations

brushing

back

the hairs

of isolation

creature life

sublimates

in spirituality

groups gather

in missions

of execution

blow hard

into the sea

of glass

and watch

what happens

sit with me

on the banks

where neighbors

dip their toes

in dreams

of splendor

as in forever

is a long time

but a long time

is not forever

when time

is ever present

nothing leaves

and nothing arrives

everything breathes

the breath of life

you say death

i say

knife

a sharp blade

is essential

to carving

wood hecklers

here on earth

my stomach

is full

of regurgitated birth

nurseries

of consummate

irrigation
