Living on Quicksilver edges:Unicorn spikes of twisted zin
pierce steamy meringue skies
A mossy jade cove
grips a quartz goblet bay
Tangible alabaster rods slide
into evanescent magnesium mists
Slate-shaded hills back
glistening serpentine grasses
Black cows munch clover
beside waxen white beehives
Steely spider-net trees
frame charcoal expanses
Lichen-laden branches
drip dark mink.
drip dark mink.
