heart strings
light and heavy gauge
have different tolerance
stress test illustrates
but still breaks in two
eden devoted
but demoted still
from garden to office atrium
retreated
outer to inner hebrides
all caught up with her
a summer ago
from dreamt into being
to dreamt into the ground
what is hidden within
your black box recording?
golden hour couldn't look more golden
denoted devotion
for all it didn't do
songs our daddy taught us
echo in the canyon
faded frayed american flag
run it up the flagpole
one more time
summer tried to snow for you
thought you'd love her more for it
stand to kiss on tiptoe
no longer antigone on her knees
if you have found the secret
to falling starwards
go tell everyone
see if they'll believe
held up mirrors
sunset reflects on the sea
no perceptible horizon line
reconnaissance photos all askew
leopard coves
dotted on the shore
smuggle all you can
black market counterweight
to monday morning stock exchange
no longer golden hour antithesis
each downtown streetlight holds its own
cult of personality glow
a summer of their own
