GAME
RESERVE
Solitary
horn of charging rhino
Goring
fossilized fantastical molded clay
Thick hide
protective shield penetrating
Wrenched
gut woes befouling humankind
Isolated
loner herd instinct desensitized
Snout
refusing to be muzzled
Dust devil
whirlwind blinders shuttered
Cleft
hoofprint traces left behind

IN
LIMBO
Overflowing emptiness borderline sated brimful
Spinning
globe enamel chipped away
Bare-naked
veneer fragile bruised anima
Odd number
of ribs exposed
Glossy yin
overshadows lackluster yang
Mutually
uprooted cosmic opposites counterbalance
Nightmarish closet ghosts surreal hallucinations
Metamorphic hippocampus specter hitching ride

CHILL
Thinking
we were probably wasn’t
Never
quite knowing for sure
Budding
passion given cold shoulder
Crisp
breathless frosty wilt thaw
Perhaps
tomorrow will be different
Knowing
full well it won’t
Stones
take time to blossom
Plush
scraped off velvet petals
