The Shadow Carries

 

somewhat under-aggregated like too many disparate parts, seated like limestone. many crystals many celebrations, I have it to give; its rain on huts, its broken thatch, its muddy sandstorm.

 

climbing sociality, reducing words, most are critical. roses are perusing, feeling vibrations, I still collect hertz. at intervals in self, soft flutes, I feel like a monk. so much brushwork, so much rendered, we ask why is art so intimate?
