Draping Sensory

The texture of thought
blended

It seemed to ebb

as the
pink blossomed trees
painted themselves

a breeze that was noticeable
only by smell

The mirror reflected light
life lived in between
a realm of mirrors

domestic fowl cutting into
this placid dimension

dirt-caked dust spots
patched green thickets

a portrait
far from being a derivative

angled anxious posture

a stilled vibration
that only left a buzz

scruff of the fray
under the chin

tiptoe crawl

moon fluorescent
sky melting to the dark

deep blue
smudge smeared, purple clouds

hung in infinity
