contritions of the phoenix zine wildflowers for eric 1 | Page 3

Remember,

cascading,

you are hurricaned,

blown over.

Missing dried pressed clovers

long lost from covers

with clever titles

and famous authors.

The luck fantasy teases the brain in idle.

Tongue fights bridle

with no clear winner.

Innocent buds,

casualties

but teeth suffer longer.

Keep pace on

the new cut path

worn down

from working feet.

Heat pours down your face,

sweating Grace.

The morning says, "...give in,

implode.

Is not within

the great Unknown?"

Growth becomes a strange beast.

Your heart strings ping northeast,

bridle wearing pink

the lip creases.

Save this one fixed current.

Secure it in shallow recesses.

5th September
