    My undiscovered country no one seeks:

    that rat scramble for relevance ⸺
    what madness!

    follow scarlet & stacked stones,
    where mountain wind holds more

    ❧

    or delve into her dark eyes

    these steel cut shores
    carved in black sand
    whisper hush of tides
    and heavy of storms.

    'black rain comes.'
    more slight than whisper,
    more ragged than thorn.

    hand grasps of hand,
    lingers as wraiths
    for which are known.

    Like red hot iron, this is best swallowed whole:

    these obsidian blades
    of semicolon days
    where minutes languid
    drag, reeking of
    sour sweat & saudade

    scant souls slendering
    silent tombstones
    sighing under
    a sickle moon

    Close your eyes reading this one; it will help.

    never will you ever find me
    never will i ever find you
    twin nightboats
    on the River Dream

    still: kohl eyes, seek—

    In singsong:

    don't dare imagine
    don't dare dream
    don't dare be strange,
    dirty or obscene
