::Dormant

:We want this.
:The end to sleeping, the bittersweet
:arousal, the peeling back, the soft bath
:in resin, the release. It can’t come quick
:enough, the hot touch that breaks the crust
:and lets us go. Hear it now: a crackling,
:as the woods begin to sing alongside the birds.
:To cry out! To be transformed, like Daphne
:back into a girl. Pine—as if our very nature
:demanded that we long without relief. But the cone
:is like a shotgun on the wall; it must erupt.
:All it takes is one dumb fuck, trigger-happy,
:with a six-pack and bad aim,
:to generate the spark that turns the world to flames.
