tall limbs of time pressing
heat into my skin
im texting my dad to ask
have you seen the tiny moon?
in july's deep heat
came here i am too covered in it
every morning lifting beetles from
their backs outside the green gems
shake from the cloth, stirred into light
i want you to see this so i am crying
thinking you stretched out and golden
and i am releasing your whimpers into
the now sparkling air using my hands
angel !!!! of night
the small cool wings
against my face and body
heat into my skin
