Mist the stray
gnook the shallow
smelten crooked the stain
grunt of valley streaming
dank the paw print of flow
risen precipice clasp
above seam dust
below columns of tiring crawl
cloaked sprawl
silent lung and the
canaries – the
aren't drawn
breaking – in – life
that strayed scrawl
creaks the lip of hollies
fumed brawl
steady
fall
upon strain of ink.
