Gush
Reasons have lost their protective power and gush
Rivulets decline in oily sputters
The thirsty forest gags or sways
Fostering cicadas’ raspy churr
Whoosh
Tired sounds of superheroes
Hand-lettered and hand-inked on the pulpy page
Surrender their blandishments as they set

Your eyes
Somebody’s indistinct eyes
Albeit remote from the globèd casements of insects
Drive water up from the ground
Water teeming with substances
Living dead and merely mineral
Suspension and solution to extinguish
