release

secret worlds
praise the canopy
of brochures created
from postcards of love

everywhere allies
cycle through untroubled
neighborhoods
of childhood genius

quoting escrowed
emotions
lingering between
parenthetical focus
and balanced by
universal order

before notably anchoring
in a snakes molting
and ritually bathing
in seas of painted
shadows

orthodox
like the sapphire
lanterns
in our eyes

closing in jeweled prayer
that releases us to the sky
