He lived sixty-one years,
useless colors floating above ice.
Come here, and dance with me,
Crinkling piercing waves at the tip of my newl,
flowing substance, surface tension.
"I don't do that anymore."
No, what you meant to say:
"We don't do that anymore."
Downward reflection,
upturned nose;
Awareness, acute,
awkward, honored, beloved;
Synced to the rain.
