Carapace

denim sea / sky

glitter.

I’m pulse thin

heart numb

flicker.

Breath strive

one two / one two

hold:

carapace

black hole

intermittent.

           *

Vision cast

petal perfect

cherry blossom

light, halo, colour

spring warmth

radiance

return returning

recurrence

circles spiral

all of this

heart held

fragile.
