Faint swipes of milky way melt
satellites streaking through celestial blanket.
Whispering tongues of young love are faint in the distance.

Behind you
faint waves lick from
the literal unknown.
Single track trail
repeats pedantic mantras,
your mother teaches you to surrender emotions to the deep vast of your body.

Pine tannins mix with the fermented sweetness of the sea.
Ivy supplants façade,
unbridled fear of unlivable ocean overgrows-
You.

Hands float body pretzeled.
Yoga aggravates forgotten fault lines.
fossilized emotions bubble up between convulsing breaths.

Spinning coin unfolds wooden teeth, bouncing along
Wasp bitten Fingernail.
You wait for your fate to be determined.
You wait for someone to tell you
what you want to hear.
