Moon, Body: Song by D.W. Baker

Moon, Body: Song

white like edges

gold like warm

catch then let go

phasic form

white like frozen

gold like melt

sinking towers

sweating wealth

white like small lies

gold like grace

trauma moonrise

brand new place

white like steamrise

gold like flash

anger flatline

peak and crash

white like wavecaps

gold like haze

tidal map change 

flash flood graves

white like ghostly

gold like found

took for granted

solid ground
