Sextet III

unpeeled 1 unpeeled the many layers perfectly conceal the revelation	wild like this the force of things beginning in spring an entire planet wild like this
alarm heed the writing on the wall in case of emergency break the glass
hope anxious traveler there's plenty of hope for you leave room in your bags	afterglow the water still warm two lovers towling lullabyes to each other
infection the seeds of the germ in bodies intrude like thoughts from another's mind
