Grayscale cotton shrouds the valley,
oil and milk dragged through the alto
Bristles of white the boundaries,
sponging lightning along the periphery,
weaving sugar, christening the rim
Blurring the brush’s grazes, intermediating
The blue - ocean, haze,
pure agate and sapphire - I’m content to drown
Powder caps (the) Sierras, talc adhearing to mire
Ponderosas creep through the drifts,
they assert their station, entrenched in
Rolling collosi,
empowered with earth and mass,
ancient protrusions, dwarfed barely by gods
frozen dusts Mar their jagged horizons
Their teeth textured with soil and grit,
awash in oleander and porcelain
Pinpricks sizzle my skin, mindless but brutal
razoring through my organs with shivs of ice
I am apart, I’ve abandoned the assault
Sheltered by metal and plastic,
a refugee from storms
Lakes like glass pockmark the basin
Sing Sing Sing
Grasses spear through their ceiling
Pillars of life in the static
The blue - ocean, haze,
Grayscale cotton shrouds the valley,
oil and milk dragged through the alto
Bristles of white smudge the boundaries,
I am apart I am apart
sponging lightning along the periphery,
