winged at my head
due to some combination of me
and you and it

scab on her kneecap,
diamond studded nipples,
spider leg streaks on her thighs

Vanna gone turn me out, I sing cuz

remaining anxiety
jacked thru in newsfeed-ese, dissipating
in the sunlight,
fractured Arabic glyphs splash
through trees
