Coiled Heat Dance With Shadows

between the breaths collapsing

a rhythm a pause

we draw near and retreat—

enfolding tales

Sojourn with Echo

in whispered embrace

cradled surge of another breath,

the shadows keep us warm—

ruins painted in light

Traverse the Vein

here darkness coils

wielding fragments woven gold,

wrung breath half-formed

bespoken nocturne

Lament the Cadences
