cackling sonnets
inside every snare
spectral sunfalls
beneath roaring hale
unleashing calamity
these most ambrosial
of refrains
rabid moonbeats
become fancy
become flight
bloodless zion
cradled in
precarious constellations
seething grave
of gehenna
beckons with a boil
withered wildflower witches
live on to lament
our wintered woes
sing siren-soft melodies
into blacksmith nights
hearts ablaze
as pillared wax
dripping sonnets
on fir splinters
windows polish into prisms
yawning moonlight
breaking open
in the daze
between black shores
upon perfumed elms
windless waters
still remembered
from the moments
we were faultless
undiminished
in the eyes
of any god
