I love
every ammonite[^2]
weeping
from the Portals of Creation,
281Please respect copyright.PENANAcjz0COdiK9
the melancholy of meadows
levigating
the Steles of Dracaena[^3] resin,
281Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Atf8YhaV
the hoarfrost
sleeting
in the Dwell of Rustles.
You are
the Eternal Irbis
that breaches dunes
in my wrists,
the Desert Rose
that, caustic,
germinates its parched winds.
