biding for the shading...

Gasping Wishes

Shaded

as though in an ashen oyster

sombre calcifies.

Set in dingy sealant

melancholy blotting

tentatively

each nuance

of now frangible desire.

Inky grope and grind

and

in the corner

of smother,

in gasping wishes

Exposure;

telling

opalescent brawn

biding

for the shading

for the frangible desire.
