sky / knucklebone thick / twisting
clouds / mellow-matted / skimming
skinning / bronzed sun / coppering
henna-draped ravens / cloaking
flayed crows / rows of stitched jelly
fish / pale eyelids / cracking
red rock / chalky pinks / narrowing
the dull weight / expansive surrender
second thoughts / flayed / harvested
mimicking / ruptured silence
playing with unformed ghosts is unwise
spectral fisting / mulching the bitter kiss
meeting the fractured eye / unwedded bliss
