stork daddy your eyes are sometimes unfathomable,
cold forged stones obscured
by the rippling algorithms a curious child
can make of a stream.
Or sometimes full, and apparent
like a chess board, overwhelming still
the way the moon informs
the romantic shortforms of insects
and angels alike,
too many to hear whisper.
Their strategies feel like swooning,
and conquer and surrender are both wet
grass.
Survival- evergreen laden heavy
with snow.
I cannot touch you directly
as they do,
although their scraping is what we've
wished of and warped to violins.
No, I must crawl up your sides,
a rebellious sap,
which earns every pause,
every cloud i freeze into
a dragon or a sigh.
I build slow castles for you to inhabit,
crumbling and reforming in the empty world of this page.
THese words move even when i seem still.
