A sensitivity lingers, ever of home;
each fate a fire outlasted. Mark it. Tension and respect: a bear, carrion. Ice melts, a glacial nerve is required. Hope: truth as egg. None to unknow; hide, haul names and appetite. Say erect, say sorrow. A nervous and ungenial reign. A proposition sneaks and beasts. Scavenged and raptured, my mate is a laboratory, padlocked. Every vulture bites at it. Each fortune sinks. They cannot bite: tongue frost, ash.
