Bloomed a bird's nest

A TALE OF A DECADE
...As I meander 'neath bougainvillea's resplendent flare,
A lachrymose tear descends, delicate and rare.
It glides o'er my visage, where memories dwell -

Dickens' Other Christmas Story

levitating toward my upper limbs.

The morning was cold it was early
The two collided and and there it was

Eerie Forest
...Swaying branches spy as secret spooks in canopy’s dungeon
Creepers knitted around trunks like ornamented bead chains
Suspended pillar roots appear as the matted hair of Lord Shiva.
Hoarse noises ...
