aurore

fetal position. tight; for hours; like a prayer within the quiet cave. the spacepod. it is possible to go through every extreme and never feel any of it. but the scars prove the course with the path of its destruction but never never once ever identify that they are there. they are not there. 

the chamois across the metal. shine. how well it reflects. deflects. the whetted blade put in its scabbard 

slip like robin through the night 

for tomorrow may be another aurore
