layers

off the albino beach underwater ruins shade specks of coral dust turquoise made midnight under the hull of the lone boat floating.

nesting beatles earth dark mulch last autumn's leaves churned colorless under the ribbed bottom of the clay pot cracking.

miniature rivers etch fine lines across tightly stretched canvas wrap around slab cinders under the bed of her screams rising.

step down
step down
step down.
