Let’s say enough
Park the voiceless frown, pursue a mood beyond the muddy trudge and midge misted hedges, a path forested with pine underfoot will thimble needling cares. Those eyes are not fabled threat but dew, purling redacted light, no longer breathe the pulse for more. All the heavy clay will crumble away. It's true!

Headless. In lichen-rich forest, air dampens the greens, mutters myth. Daft I know. Such places gather belief.
