The rain had amended it in fossil fuel
And the soul turned back from life
Over there behind the shelf rich rinds
A precious flourish of tangerines
You to the kilometer of smiles
Mainly quickened by the pulse of terrain
Lush solutions to a ceviche arrival
Merely demeanor how to the tongue
Crackling fissures into matcha
Some reason overturning the rest break
Wave repetitions along bees and baby insects
These sick days making themselves known
