if not, less expert:     elm-riven:
light floods iteration’s
domicile:   how would you
describe:  as paraph,    signature:

strapped to winter’s
gurney, its compound fracture:

stellar scatter, the neo-
lithic:  waking     radial, into

that pink     symmetry:
your life in other     ([places]):

thread into wick::  refulgent::
the process process:  or,
Chronicle:   modeled    in serum:

child:   into sparrow:   into song:
