By Literary Means


Slipping into ellipsis
The caesura stirs
Periapsides converge

Then
Merge

Oological
Yolkish claims
Inanity birthed
In feathered frame

Fading fast the nether glade
Until
There is that sudden absence
A primitive cursory preemption
Stifling
The energies
Into
Prosiopesis

…the ice covets the skin.

  1. Ice covered my brain, all those big words had me popping a vein, at least the first few, the rest I knew. But you had to make me go look stuff up. I'll place the blame on a pup. For it could not be a cat, we are too smart for that..haha
