《dreamclot ~ poetry》intimations and insinuations

the belly gargles boyhurt venom
before spitting up a reached-for lust—
dithery the grass of it, spidery the past.
the breeze on the stoic's face empassionates.
the mynah staining the leafless tree with its presence
reminds him of home. his excuses are
as tall as that palm tree, his palms as small
as its wants. this is a new model clothe-hanger—
you can bring the clothes down one by one.
the stoic thinks he can do the same with bodies—
stretch them in a night of want, stretcher them
during his routine disasters, then stack them
in his memory, one by one by one.
the etna of the loins will always forge faster
than the lethe of the eyes can cool— at least
as long as your body believes you're young.
the leaves leap and leave. the mynah will too
no matter how full of songs it is.

Choices of the Magicless Son
I had an ability that allowed me to watch everyone. I narrated everything I witnessed. To who? To whichever being that's listening to my thoughts right now. I have a gut feeling you're there. Erik Spearhand was born from one of the many concubines of the current human emperor. The boy was insignificant. He was the only one in the whole world who couldn't use magic. And yet, his choices impacted everyone. I had seen every sort. Powerful mages who could kill with a thought. Monster people who had their own history among human and beastman civilization. And even what I presume are time travelers. Those mess with my head. And still, the magicless son was the most formidable of them all. Of all of us.
