after FKA Twigs, Stuhmiller, or cold color schemes layered over humid green dreams

FKA Twigs, from her instagram

by Rigel Stuhmiller, from her Abstracted Earth series

by me




what's elusive in your tresses is the cloud source       were you above in a plane
or below in a human sphere                        & since we as the royal we
as the royal me as what I feel is the royal truth       as my cells like to 
google what you do      and be obsessive hoping you can channel
what it is I can't lately                   fly over states become 
home as accidents as purposes of god as avenues of    
sick children become vehicles for         everyone to change
as a field of branches I can't walk through          cause my legs
aren't made of iron              
walking through the sisters' residence & outside
the forest mouth is dark like mirk wood or like every
creepy sepia crime ever      or like a murky romance of the humid 
insect universe we take a trail through stopping along the way 
to trade tongues        & connect with a laughing silence
beyond the marked grass walkway there's oodles of a certain
type of tree I've never seen it's low to the ground 
brimming with oval maroon fruit or poison I suppose depending 
on the     consumer
I depend on me to consume  
I depend on the camera cuddling but going shy once I point
it at a memory I don't want to lose
never could describe a creep scene like Blackwood 
but I can hype up the soil with the best of em 
& still fall victim to willowy madness        huge bunnies out of my eye
corner turning back to rocks when I aim my vision
