Value the Vertigo
Share
Swimming 
through densities 
a thief 
and its grief ?

Pushing out
pushing out
at the sheerness of limits 
my abyssal hearts leaf.

Why attack,
to extort and extract?
fatten a soul
value the vertigo?

Where tandem influxes 
to magical excess -
Desires wind fallen, 
hopes dispossessed.

Pining for wings 
humbled and tumbled
by athwart things

Makes naked 
like a bat
hungry for love,
marrow in fat.

So turn
a wicked tail
and run for home 

Restless and manic 
strangely 
scavenger prone.

Fraught with reality
ghosting for a shore 

Smitten, bitten 
and swooning - 
my subfloral mortal floor.
