here I am, looking at pictures of the
Susquehanna. One arm dry dances in
limerance the other
a mungo dipped in English. Selcouth yes
and a widdiful. This elixir is
a riverbed and I,
Stone. Rock. Pebble. Sand?
Definitely gray in some way.
Pulveratricious
those in my life with small hammers
hoping to break into a gemstone.
Neither amythest nor
ametrine. Ammolite or
andalusite. The azotic topaz
scintillates in red and orange
sometimes the sky and the sand here
become an azotic topaz together. I
enjoy the sparse coruscation of stray cats
hunting atop the patina.
