read extendable prose
written on plateaus
outdated negotiations
on grounds faded, dislocated
where bluffs once rose straight
and rivers would thread through
perhaps just a photo
from peripheral view
like pebble broken skin
echo'd waves diminishing
from a weight
once held in your palm
worship landscapes askew
body-made, sculptural
a skirting muse
who lives just to break a spell
