All My Own Stunts
I’ve become an outline pasted on the moon shadow sung by tree frogs, collapsing mineshaft fantasy in talc wind-drenched pauper of stars. ~ I’ve become an empty snakeskin rattle, circle of invisible hawks trail smirk, sand puppet scavenging resinous dreams. ~ I’ve become a rumor hidden in parquet absence overgrown shiver of tissue, sky breath humming a dirge. ~ I’ve become a spray of dead asters holding their shape brittle afterthought in a vase of echoes.
