the curly ends

Brief writings are

enough.

The way that periods

bookend the curly ends

of sentences is

not a silencing,

but a wax seal

for freshness.

These can be

the most potent

of elixirs.

When you drink

the images I’ve made

for you, how will

you dream me to be?

"When you drink the images I’ve made for you, how will you dream me to be? "
