Rocks lay before
the last thought and solipsism;
Inside a frost stillness, decaying by the tree;
Forbidden—the serpent’s blood betrays
the bone fingers that lay upon stone.
Feral. What happened?
Illusory dreams
are mere being.
Devising a relent
to emerge outside
to the city, deprived of life
deprived of streetlight.
the lonely catkins
with a vulnerable shape
like a stilling ghost with discolored
flesh—lay quietly;
Disinterested, the blood pools
around the shore that kisses the leaf
alone in finality.

I love the final 3 lines, and I find this phrase intriguing: “like a stilling ghost with discolored
flesh”
