Queasiness readies itself,
conjuring brown rocks and white lines;
prisoners of the windy constant tilt,
foaming over something unbroken yet seeming
rotten apricot skin worn as face
real enough to talk and fondle
thorns pricking whiteblood and blackcloud
summer vaporstorm fringes purely
warm and wet, distancing itself
when those sicknesses bring windy
weather riots to bomb
flimsy worlds; lushing brimfuls of stagger
frail as a discarded poppy by the windowsill.
