cornucopia
scissoring the bronze pillars
with an arrangement of opium and lavender
tactical fittings of scar tissue and succulents
lay nestled inside a valley,
beneath the cardinal plumes of an acacia
we spill wine from the cornucopia
onto virgin sheets
tender in the grass
the delicate harvesting of chords
intertwined within mahogany shadowboxes
render the sea
obsolete
and tears from candles build fortresses
that jostle sand from the altar
outside
they wane
softening the blow
lingering on the crest
arresting all progress
of a moment
outside of time
