Raged waters strike
Yellow skies in
August.
Near salty rock
Over swept crevices
Sugar slaves did
Advance thier freedom.
Under frosted canvas
Running becomes familiar
Upper ribcage heaves
Safer with each breath.
Wings split shoulders
Rapid molting embryo
Entertains the fisher,
Casting under branch
Kindred ghosts existed
Since ever I dreamed.
