furrow 1
the well-done old fragrance of my flesh
is a living mountain of bones bleeding with flowers
with lucky peach flowers, fuzzy flesh flowers, real baby azaleas
a crying spell, a fire ritual, a recovering metal petal palace neighborhood
circle dance 1
bomb of my hometown
i try to hold on to the grime from my time playing in my body
furrow 2
flower independence, bird independence
peak village, new village
my not yet ancient birthplace
village where
when desire calls
from the south of blue
et cetera weeping
willows dance
in the creek
of net songs
circle dance 2
home bomb
i miss becoming inside the morning glow there
🌺🌺🌺
furrow 3
my late habitus incense
vapes acid marrow
flavored in peach, apricot
& honey-transmission-flower
HD rainbow
a huge vacancy filled
with K-pop beauties
a movement of yes
circle dance 3
home balm
um, to pine for the perfect moment playing in mind
furrow 4
a botanical garden
a gathering of distances
my former former hometown
when the wind whistles
in from the troubled
fields of otherplace
the community where
development buddies
rave in streams
circle dance 4
balm of my hometown
god, how i long for the springtime i stayed free of labor inside
