The clime touched down on weathered twine
tied to the hind to maginal wire and the secular
to a tuft of red hair. Native in the din easygoing

Begin flagging for settlement. The hold is loosened
into a comfortable and plural slouch as one foot in
front of the other we who still stand now in the cycle
of anotherworldly condition pour into the eye into

we watch and gampless against the coming eyewall
whiten all reflex in preparation for what. Whiten
in my ear your breath behind me without saying
you
Begin flagging
for settlement
as the first thing you said when you saw it was
