To the Rose upon the Rood of Time.

( me / via )

      "formality"

1.
pallid riders roleplay
      electric
space heater of cheat sheets
   the lines mumbled
the years careen · into cupcake

small malfunctions fuel us
      solace of
   glint silicon
furnace despite sports talk
reach emptily · antidote to having

2.
apologist jail time
adjourned, wasn't earnest
what do words mean portal
or squid ink tincture

goldenseal-adorned log
Venus prayer o'er rubble
knackered spiderling
only password i know

3.
owl brew, aware elbow
engine light to spite me
pale cerulean Auschwitz
piled turquoise gemstones

in the shade coarse shudder
for sure we are Yorick
owl brew, aware elbow
of kaiju-borne hijinks

Hasbrouck and the Rose.
