HOLED UP

HOLED UP

HOLED UP

decide temporal drill at location

earthly sphere pinned to a blind tracery

preconditioned trait when applied forward

strike converging on a few square inches

build upon a single formality

open open open and bound beyond

downward gleaning you carried me home

bouldered over in spring and gone again

re-appear exact and to the letter

emanating from a change of fortune

HOLED UP

build upon a single formality

open open open and bound beyond

downward gleaning you carried me home

bouldered over in spring and gone again

re-appear exact and to the letter

emanating from a change of fortune
