the torn hem wears her grin. in threads of how. the future overtakes us. her skin like heavy robes. rigid with needles and useless medicines. choice. a series of random pinnochios desperate to be real. 

dreaming up her wars in bouts of sun.

wood, straw and bricks. naming their gravity. in broken clolors spoiled by sweat. the temporary monsters of flesh. have their betrayals calculated.

empty guns blame the bullets. simple strangers gather their wolves.

knowing the edge. the uncretain science of patience. pinholes in the clouds. a fever of trust. still rich enogh to  purcahse the game outright.

the rain falls. smooth on the glass. the storm waits. knots to be undone. places to take us where w've always been.

The barter of when. The collaspe of how. Proximity like a razor. Processes the blood. Flaunts the infection.
