The impression of the light upon my body has caused a wilting of her desire.
Pressed on your firm and barren ground, I pierce with intent out from within my belly.
And I have not one but many roots with which to see and wander,
as I stay orientated towards you, weak as you make me.
Swayed by the promise of her intention, she, who muses at my guise and dreams to reach the wild in ways not befit to you, lends her thoughts through me
To experience in the absence of your waning touch,
latent realms.
Bewildered, once more.

This message is a house that is a watchtower that is a ghost ship that is surveillance software that is a Fata Morgana mirage, with stones placed where the living rose takes root: the erotic condition where our knowing negotiates rites, of metal and of meat.
