extinguished

i step aside--into the corner of this waking dream

surrendering all sense of line

allowing my captive self to linger 

voracious--blurred by shadowed edges grey

intent upon the breaking of the glass mask and tower walls

no weave of fabric holds

no structure 

you circle my breath

following the maze of electric borealis 

as the mandrake bores into the damp earth of waiting 

deep
deeper
deepest
base of spine 

touching 

the blending fuck of scorched souls arching into this mandarin moment

pressed and open 

hanging taunt with hands upon my back

chaos melts

fractal light bends into the surge of heat and saged ache 

quiver
tangle 

hold
hold 

holding

for the wash and rush of sacred water over the tattered silver edges 

from my corner 

i quietly watch--blinded by the collide

quenched by broken delight

winter white intimacy
