Ricochet pinecone
riverside elderberry
underwater rushing
tightrope walker
Whistlestop coming
soon I gotta go, gotta
tiptoe mudslide
tightrope walker
Timid as a raindrop
bold as the iceberg
broken as the thorn of the
blackberry crushing
Goose-down comfort
blackbear hideaway
going out for winter
tightrope walker
Undertone overcast
in breath outside, going on a limb
and tearing of the bandage
uncover fearlessness
when lightning
strikes it meets
in the middle, as a
bone-bent riddle be met with a
riddle be found
inbreath outside…
Ricochet pinecone
cavernwide honeyberry
waterbent keeper
tightrope walker
Elderwise timestone
rise a gaze east-side
telling to the cradle
tightrope walker
Told as a footprint
burned as a brightening
sudden as the rush of the rib-bent whistler
Windsweep set-down
shadowside lightaway
fool-eyed leader of the
tightrope walker…
Ricochet pinecone
riverside elderberry
underwater rushing
Underbelly overcast
going on a limb and
tearing of the bandage
(tightrope walker)
(when lightning strikes)
outbreath inside
(when lightning strikes)
inbreath outside
outbreath inside
inbreath outside
