Mira Dancy
(scored to pink)
—————————
I came here for the light;
to see it creep
in drips
Got stranded for long passages,
(supple as the supplicant)
knees in the sand
tracing x’s
along a silhouette
advancing, minusing the yellows.
How the scene retracts
yields time, and not permission
for a supple branch to bend,
to bow but not relent
((supple as the supplicant))
your riddle deserts me now–
Pink corona,
Immediately answering,
My look //
Your ammo,
all ablaze
