I am of many minds.
I am a restaurant of the dead.
Feel me from a distance, hoard me
in the memories that haven't happened.
Trace on me enhancement unforetold.
Let the colors train a swift array of bones.
Let the trees of blue breath disrupt a pale sky
without a ripple or a sound.

In the place of ambiguity
plateaus swept clean as fresh glass
sit across from me.
Give us time to study each other
in the eddies that pass us by.

I am afraid of losing myself to fantasies
of enchantment,
I am afraid of rank possession
and the leech inside.

Bleed my milk, witch,
and ink the reed inside
the temple's walls.
Teach me my master side
as a variable dragon, show me the coals
arranged as touchless knives.
