pricking fingers on rose bushes
herbs gathered at the edge
time accumulates with light
miners tunnel further downward
labels worn and discarded
souls look for comfort from the wind
never close
as figurines dance about in sync
proof is elongated as a moonbeam
a stop sign turns green
attachment can be supremely lighter
lazy prissy beehives circle in my head
as magnolias set down test tubes
