of crawling snakes
hide, divide invocations and
episodic facets of fear
                        while
developing agony from the mislead

translucent desire write with belly-pens
atop soil
            or synonyms for sacred
forms of paper.

shaping relativity
ensuing their falling names
hiding beneath footsteps of the walking
unknown.
