A Lokean Devotional Vignette
“Vultures remove parasites by spreading their wings in the sun.”
Loki says, his chin resting on my head as we watch the sunrise together.
“The sunlight helps them. Let me be your sun.”

The tiger sun bit into my petals,
burning them like blooming wasn’t work.
I turned inward,
pink with embarrassment
for having been outside too long.
Tending my root and scent,
twirling bright leaves,
distraction,
out from under big cat’s eye,
I crept along the twining fence.
live-fire pressed into me
my ribs catch the sun
opening my spine
to it
heat moving
