Lightning in your eyes

I remember running through the paddocks in a thunderstorm, My four pairs of socks and gumboots, Your rough coat of black fur shining in the rain; Artillery blasting holes through the stratosphere.

I Wish To Rise Like The Rain

Realising, you offered to take itContinue reading “Formlessly Collapsing”
