ascension
lose me
in the fog
blue haze rivers
owl glow
baking nests
babies born
from leaf piles
what are we made of
feathers riddle sky

||
saga age
I want to fight / your nightfall /churn
your skull / into / industrial revolution /
smash icebergs / melt away rivers / receding
glaciers / how could the world / be so round /
humans must transform / before they come
ashore / behead the trees / I sentence you
to death / dear squire
coastal break
I am the
raspberry bush
in
my chest
doom of beaks
pecking sand
quiet feeding the machine
please quiet feeding the machine
spooning rivers
salt and algae
covered raindrops
what entities
what inches
what coastal lungs
