Chesapeake, VA 08/17/16
crow hop through the pinhole—time slows down
sanguine blossoms
crepe myrtle rain falls inside the breast
suspended animation within a wormhole
a spherical world, ephemeral
with encroaching edges of opaque mystery
—creamy black velvet
skin becomes sky
a splattered arch of liquid sunshine,
flung across the northeast
the center is blown-out
a cricket enters god’s eye
