Crystalline: Cory Buchanan

Foreign pupils spiral,
entrancing the air

to static

Arming all sight,
like pulsing by a viper den,
adrenaline pours

Liquid runs on heated stone,
quenching mirages

Blending under morning,
ringing chimes
enter the temple,
pushing

forward

to crystalline

Mountainside:

Streams of starlight silence
in search of humid waterfalls,
parching by the mountainside

Beginning in oasis pictures and sounds
– trickles and croaks,
acted behind the eyes by craving,

grasping at the apex
of pristine surrender
