NODES OF A HEA/RT

*6:30 pm Maryward Flashback

When a thrush sings half [hea/rt]edly
their song, scaffold between their smile

like a burning fingernail
lodged in salvation

Their sense of pride cemented
across their face-
claiming whatever
land- they- land- on

frost/pine/wayward species

so that we feel numb as a savior

caught in the headlights

or sometimes, a backbone intentsion
composed less firm than

              history



MESSIAN MASS

a    f l a k e   in a chapel

*

dust/scatter/overwrite/

grow merry with time

and bliss the tainted flower

how many matches would

you like to buy

before prayers
no longer fall true [?]

like 9 lives in an octave (12345678).

They say my hands can’t r e a c h

single files
of a permafrost memory
