divination
spaces

i only stumble into breath.
 1
inked deep within some
 2
crevice of a character,
 3
i insist there lies
 4
some shadow rid of death.
 5
 
 
lithe thing sprawled
 6
boneless in my chest,
 7
lit fiery bright and tempered
 8
evenly at her own behest.

This doesn't feel quite done, though what's here is beautiful. I feel myself wanting to know a bit more about what has happened/is happening.

Consider adding another poem or two (even three) to this work to give us a better sense of where we are.
