Plus minus

Behind the roses- the trail of a wheel on the dusty road-

Being the only proof of its existence- as a part of something

More- fingers of rotting corpses puncturing their bloated bodies

And crows cawing zero are beads- of a longer string-

His intentions forming ranks in her lap is seen only from a

Certain distance- vertically- ant is a weight of a greater purpose-

The monk a sediment of smaller desires- the girl in her invisible

Radius- like desert lizards- osmosing heat from sun and taking

To the shade- only when the light is beyond bear- lives of

Mirrors and optimal stops- but the shadow is or is not shadow-

Nothing shallower nothing deeper- breaking light is an oneway dig-

Uprooted roses wither in light to bloom in shadow- lacking

The vaguity of the distorty air between fire and not fire- like words

That are a part of something great and of something greater still..
