And placed in stasis, there to wait.

A single strand of silk is all
That ties...

Trusts not my lips, oh Lord

Premium Member Lemon Afternoon
The incendiary wick
of a lemon afternoon
flickers in the lime lagoon
as sunset breathes fire,

lilting melon waters
until incandescence

"All the Dark Stallions"



Calliope burns 
ecstatic bright star
fire brands, all her marks

both hands
