Sundin Richards
Sub Rosa
In the company
of horrors
I learned the
scales of mercy
Hush then
violet is
One letter
from
Perfection
quiet then
Bad dream
entelechy
The wheel
is just
Something
that happened
To other
people
And the
animals
Are gone
to
The high
way
There's no
living in
The
water
There's no
living in
The
sky
Rhyming time
with mine
Everything
results
Except
music
