Bad Compass

Locomotion to location, destination unspoken, unsought. But you knew, who knew. Beneath the opposable with benefits, a mock assurance. Finally exposed beneath a wing. She is harbinger and harvester, gnawing, undermining a foundation. Her self belief deathly evident. An induced epiphany with drip-feed stealth coercion. Now self aware to purchase life. In permanent daylight he assumes solar nourishment. No longer frantic.
