blank and breath and
breathe breathe breathe
burnt sienna squelch beneath
feet damp over unmown
loam and grass tree root
chirp and the sinking
into and below and
damp red shoes dirt-tinged
dirt like the dirt beneath
fingernails and the mind,
the memory, hazel acidic
kiss and once
bitten, blank and breathe
breathe wow you're really
bad at this game, you're
really very bad at it, so blank
and breathe breathe breathe
cold toes and water squeezing
through grass and mud
squeezing like an orange
bright sunburst peel of
flesh, here, take this flesh
in the air, the droplets
moisture clings and curls
tendrils around an open
halo flame, space and blank
and white-grey blank
and breathe breathe
breathe in burnt
sienna flesh.
(Note: This is another unedited improvisation from my ENG-W303 class. It will also likely appear later in a more polished form.)
