This Body's Map
Willie
Every night, you sleep on my neck.
Contentment seeps through our chakras.
The Weight of Ice
They drove me for miles until the ground was a table of white. We passed a fox licking itself with such ferocity if we were ever to turn back I swear, its hide’d been bloody.
Castle
Low dirt path parts Loch Awe as a helix unbinding.
We walk like thistled mutants to Kilchurn ruins.
