Low Terrain

We explore it so often, absent to exploration, and waiting for freedom.
It’s an intimate lifestyle, somewhat compelling, to feel it shift. We pace
to sit still, rocking steadily, to treasure the vibration. We’re not so

to jot a passage. The deepness is pressure, for concentration, to touch
something elusive; in which a landscape—is burgundy fire, for
shimmering topaz. Trees rest in silence, to wrestle gravity, while shedding
leaves. It’s quite deciduous, as are the lows, skating through blank winds.

screams, in inlet tongues, to excavate caves; whereat are scars, for
terrifying mirrors, where it’s not so deciduous; for seasons come weekly,
to grab a vat, to play pretend with self. The stomach aches. The eyes
churn; for wherefrom such an entity; to raise wit suddenness, to deal the
cards, for blackjack fevers? The flowers are groaning, to wilt from
sullenness, to wither in hopes. Earth is blocked in, as cubed as logic,
falling through winds; where essence drips, to uplift a fog, to grip a feather.
