only circumambulate
only clockwise
a rainbow road
pollen smeared
two crystal pillars
unabated savagery
mundane reparations
& a false tendency
have a word
with the ferryman
implausible tradewinds
sulfuric droplets
just an average divorce
among the Ainu
why’s Mac Wiseman
here of all places
born to an ice giant
renounce resentment
a fox corpse trying
to be a fox again
yes it means I’m sorry
emergent properties
a phase transition
holding our carbon
in escrow
