I love
every ammonite[^2]
weeping
from the Portals of Creation,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqeHKAubCoY
the melancholy of meadows
levigating
the Steles of Dracaena[^3] resin,
192Please respect copyright.PENANAF4UGxyDZUA
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.
