witches warlocks of a higher nature
caste spells in peat bog steam
unscarred lungs
fill and empty
their knowledge of air
nutrient-rich
culture

life
death
drum
skin

diaphragm
throat vortices
connect across
mid-Atlantic
rift of indifference

blue canvas
calyx whirls open
iris petals

compound eyes
ultraviolet
language of pollinators

vocal cords
grass whistle
between thumbs

open suns
carry watersheds
of aurora sheets

beneath the arc of dark spots
we see our own faces
our own thoughts
our essence joined
in the continuity of art
