ex libris
thin measlesley roating
spitted as goosed down
lowered into hedge-pig
lavered uncleased juiced
tote in potentailised
orange moons settles beneath
iridescent head into caves
reflect outquenched
water rises moon falls
iriascent utfrom forest
floating roots gathering
soulchitin remnants
halfseen spines tense
barely legible in this light
arming shrews militant
massive in the stacks
silvered fish glint
dart dance slivered
shelves intransparency
rotiring … fail … fall
