the pulsations of beating wings
by tanner brockwell
the pulsations of beating wings
lifted not for flight
lifted only for light
gleaning off downy soft
born beneath cold stars

cold is the night

cold is the night
by tanner brockwell
cold is the night
when comfort shuns
and biting winds blow

glass windows

i will have the pastry then
i will have some coffee
and i will compose my soul

phosphorescent light
their pores
miniature supernova
radiating
spectrums visible
invisible
their struggle
continent wide
shakes the foundation
of plates tectonic
dull gravelly
dragging consonants out
as if they were dry
lodged teeth
that were designated
vacant empty
