Full Moon Reflecting off the Peaks

As snow does to a fire
gods who bit flowers of ink
a nest of mad kisses down the long black river
the milky way sky’s pale vertebrae
archipelagos of stars

framed between small branches

blossoms of small arms , nails us naked to the color
of pink hyacinth singing singing
in deep red ripples
your voice is a pale street lamp on calm black water

just (a word planted by the water

before I am a stone in a stone-swallowing river
thrown

into

 

 

sleep

                                                                      your eyes
