I love
every ammonite[^2]
weeping
from the Portals of Creation,
191Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ry21BZRrK
the melancholy of meadows
levigating
the Steles of Dracaena[^3] resin,
191Please respect copyright.PENANA8pbQC9at3T
the hoarfrost
sleeting
in the Dwell of Rustles.
You are
the Eternal Irbis
that breaches dunes
in my wrists,
the Desert Rose
that, caustic,
germinates its parched winds.
