moth.
Bluelighter
remember the road?
all shiver and shake
as it unfurled beneath us.
a black satin ribbon
climbing the fallen horizon.
and the lights that flickered
like blue fireflies rising
and ricocheting out of the darkness
in stark contrast with
the birds descending like tomahawks
open beaks bisecting the world
wings slashing through ethereal fog.
refusing to be swallowed
He pushed us, inch by blind
inch, through the nebulae
as alien landscapes flew past
the glass framed by metal.
dunes and lush greens.
unearthly greens.
(it's always that green)
remember gasping for air?
as we crested the shoreline,
our eyes straining to devour.
with ten fingers on each
hand, she plucked a barrage
of harp chords from thin
air. the sound of magnetic
resonance.
words spill out like blood
reminds me of the pulpy
fragility of our bodies,
unleashing a flood of tears.
we nearly drowned in the
torrential rawness.
great bridges and structures
spring up from the ground
like crocuses. blinking,
they dissolve into drops
of dew.
we emerge on the otherside,
invincible with new eyes.
lightning dancing on our
tongues. impossible colors
trembling our lashes.
