a midst
the brilliant sky
my heart
succumbs to know

desperate treasures
frozen
long ago

lacquered veneers
melt on orange
stipule stalks

connecting grey worn
weaves to
a golden present
stride

with whisked
strokes opening
imperfect 

raptures glow
swells marrows
attentive matter

devouring natures
pulsing
torrential flow

as colors simply
enter from places
untouched below
