RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

all these years you’ve been so rich 
standing on a mud oval 
wide enough for both your slouch 
and its shadow 

those upturned palms keep choosing you 
but how do you choose back?

In your best terrain
you’re decisive and benevolent 
mystery drunk and porous 
to all feeling

body swapped with the beholder’s
woozy devotion 

and only you/ can break your heart

  1. Woozy devotion is so beautiful. Poetically and in real life.
    Also big enough for your slouch and it's shadow. Ugh.
