watching moonrise. Praise the northern star. Its fullness,

not leading us astray.”

unravels the seismic splay of muscle tissue in the flow. Waves lap into relentless
roars. Ghost in a landscape of rain carves bone beyond aviary. Water curls form
a heaviness in the body. North-coast. Clef wave with ghost made of fig leaves.
A storm groans with compost hands to return cyan-blue to the sea. The listless
downpour submerges ghost but ghost rises to the surface with gills. Water is a
memory trail of floodlines.”
