Getting to TERF Island.

"the wind's warfare"

1.
cancer hacks · & hack cancer
private front · of a frayed war
bright colors & shapes · box your jam
of defunctive heeding · & lessening heft
things that fall · no final clasping
silence that seals · smiting & smoke
& the rendered roster · of razed cities rides
a rune at a time · in my timid cough

2.
even the furious · have lain down in desuetude
darksomely plied · with all the wrong pills
militant to a fault · but now malleable
& none next raging · against all ruin
they've taught us to take · what the toy shop sells
all of my heroes herded · even the furious

3.
May should be fun · a razor faring
no ringside seat · no rote spectacle
just realization · of deep drowning
growing on the flicker-phiz · of each phantom

4.
reign of slippage slynudge
beautiful book fronts
brightfadge & brave flavors
song of the sands run
& everybody watching

releasing a moth
