red morning gibbous
moon beyond scudding smoke drift
burnt-out pumpkin heart
...
pulling currents of life from deep underground
firm smooth
effortless form
under my fingers
velvet resonance
ancient energy
under my palm
igniting electric storms of confusion
under my skull
run hard
try hard
avoid ...soft
rust welded memories
chased by the ache
of a thousand phantom limbs
last night
you were there
with me
whole, alive
fully formed
perfect
this morning I have
nothing but vague memory
tiny fragments
