balcony balance
the smooth gooseflesh
ripple wind

updraft all entail gloss
lyric strand thread
undulations in dune
flat flesh
carved
with the lavish winds
tongue

beyond the tip
upturned nose
and hot rose
cigarette
end

behind the teal
iris
are ruins
forfeited and starved
with a hot fever

racing in vanities
mirror
the dark dance
a candle chance
a scandal advance

like a wave of sorrow
chipped nails
and crippled rows
of roses
crushed

rains wicking life
and bringing ice

and the valleys of
motion far below
the twenty second floor
the storeys of
karmic possessor
arms

reaching
surrounding
and bringing down
the lost
and sublime
to drown
