Drive Dark the Cloudway

dew grass a fire shine 
mountain a lung 
pine cone the bone 
tsunami rock hawk jaw 
gravity a fall all consuming 
a song chirp for sunlight 
spine daggers cracking 
the sky an ocean paused in its crashing 
creature shake trip whistle 
rustle nut squirrel swish 
stump thunder or thump 
thump a swallowing 
you beautiful urchin 
you rot mound of moss.
