we draw out the time putting on skin after skin as the light changes we begin to feel warmer the static remains unnerving gusts of wind are replaced by the cooing of pigeons the color fades back in we return to our normal sizes
kill one bird with two stones empty your backpack heap up the bones
hold it. it all in.
