Sunlight Crystal

By Scott Thomas Outlar

I wounded all my alibis

before fully forming

 

now the theory is dizzy

crash point of fever

 

shine where the clovers are smitten

 

gathering red leaves

for spells of caution

 

You told me every story

takes on a life of its own

when eager

 

now my mouth is dry cotton

thick fabric turn autumn

 

glow in the gown of soft feather

 

lining up the charge

for signs of contact
