Choosing
By Ferral Willcox
It's #tbt! Enjoy this great one from SWWIM Every Day's archives!
In the place of cisterns swaddled in cobra lilies spawn of cloud seed heals the moon of its infected swelling. A heat dissipates to crystal, gaslit in the aging night. You were a slip of a boat set off in a slit of wild waters, two down no rudder, no oar. One love travels in tides, in elliptic swirls hot to cold, then back again. The other, a faucet, a cup a tinseled lake warming in a metronome of sun.
