Beauty is Divided Freely
A feeling blinking
Rattling with pinks
A fault of the eye
Of the passenger
A rift, the tongue
The drifting skin of the future
Cold exposure
Marked poise
A slit in the soft light
Silica supplicants
Beauty is divided freely
Dropping out of time
Frustrating the experience
The cold world
Bears description
Along the sad corridors
Of heavy time
