a patchwork god

entering the dark
the ground we walk
upon fragments
like lake ice in spring
epistemes multiply
like white blood cells
frantic to fill
the fractaled rabbit holes
lacing the I between you and me
a corset of stories to tell
late into the night
around a fire
surrounding a view
no one sees
as frogs
a cacophony
sounding one voice
croak out their songs
beneath multitudinous stars
