pax/pay/vow
wasted royal jelly and
wanting hot saliva
ours scores in a cardinal direction
unknown on this plane
stepping on the head of the mollusk
it’s realized
time’s first indulgence
was a carnival
wheel
wax/way/wao
waxing ambergris
and waning rust
our power spores upwards
and the spirit assures us
that threaded loose in a geoduck
is our advising element
an amoeba’s wish
for you for you
the world
