mineral slippers
caught in their nocturnal jump
seems the stars
vanitas that they are
poured themselves into a salt lake
its phantom wake
a saucer of milk before dawn
sun
rise you diligent baker
we make animal tracks in its crust
disobedient cubs
etching our own hieroglyphs
soothsayers
the wood swallow
the lace monitor so long it licks the horizon
& me
the greater bilby
we call from the rosetta stone
to the nothingness
as great voids compel us to do
moot on existential absurdities
elevate a flake to the sun
at certain angles
a prism switches on
in tribute to the rain
a cryptic response locked inside
amplifies when it touches the tongue
the famine of colour is a paradox
white holds the quiet like a bell jar
as if a century seized in its own cog

Because they breathe oxygen into the fire, these dreams I have with you, these desires that become caresses kept on the tips of my fingers, and so I smile with my eyes closed and paint you with the magic that lives in my imagination, and with the ethereal beats of this romantic heart.
