Crushing you - it all bleeds through,
These vague potentialities.
I find that in the drifts of time
I'm drawn to doomed realities.

Crushing you - what I must do,
Defining principalities.
From sublimation to sublime
To save eventualities.

Breathe

Simple step: one foot in front of the other. Remove one brick. There's a burning - a certain itching in the skin - that tells me to begin again as the walls come up around me. Scratch at the mortar. Find a chink to let the "I" through to construe what lays beyond - My own demise, Or else I'll rise like a phoenix - From ashes to dreams All things have a beginning an ending an ascending and a fall. I fell over you - stumbling like a child - Knees bloodied and bruised - I cried I struggled to rise. And I sit still. Waiting until the final shoe drops. Waiting for feet that dance again. My steps are measured In the seconds of dread, the seconds when blackness tells me - That's all there is. No light at the end of the tunnel. No lining shining silver. Just a wandering grey with no day on the horizon. I'm beside myself - Whispering all the things I shouldn't say, All those things we try to pray away that creep in, Insidious, like termites in a house - termites in a soul - that

Memories and Rememberance ( Anthology )

Memories and Rememberance i 1. I poured memories into a teacup to soak my soul occasionally with reminiscent sips from the past 2. I wove your memory inside my mind just like the way ivy vines used to curl up against the terracotta walls of your home I cried our moments together onto orchard petals like puddles of dew drops in the frigid morning hours There is something so reminiscent to curl up on patches of green grass among wilting daisies and earthy soil - it makes me think of you And the thought of you has always comforted my lilac heart It would complete this newly turned garden of mine But as my thorny reality has remin

cold mirror

halfhearted moonrows fill the sky silver; darling little atoms pressed together soft sighs of liquid light and pasts, unknown or imminent gathering on a platform, boarding trains to nowhere, to new homes, old thoughts maybe strangers on the rail in all directions, with space between

laodice.

in summer the ghost of the girl who tried so desperately to hang me with her own hair comes to me again, her wrists bound tight - a victorian nightgown, the stretch of the fabric a taste on my teeth i can never forget ( contact allergy: the glue from band-aids sends my skin spitting and hot, the new cells, grown inside as i was, finally brave enough to fight for air ) she blinks her heavy lashes at me and pulls the heat tight around my ribs. they bend like a ship on the shore under the slime of greenrot and time, but they do not break. they are not drowned, not her claim to rebuild with. ( if a ship sinks, and you replace it, is the s

interior design for broken homes

i. here in isolation, we begin the fallout. everything around us makes us pull the knives out. once i turned to you when all the world was making chaos sounds; now we run away and run our ships aground, entire days lost. what cost can be discerned of loss and lives set fire? churn my stomach into wreckage, lover. what will we have learned? ii. as the night evades, we are tyrants in our ruling places. color me so purple that the worries fall up into space. ardor isn't earned, it is the currency of loneliness. i'm spent. iii. i've spent the last three days in solitude, a quiet i can't place now that it's over; what a melody is overbearing noise! no choice stings quite like you, and no regret is louder than the truth. up on the roof, the rain gives all of us illusions: we are not what we believe to be revealed. iv. if i had to explain it— and someday i worry i will— i would first look for paper, pen, mercy. v. the blueprint of a heart is volatile; everyone knows but no one

Prayer

the last time I was in a chapel I got a nosebleed at the start of when peace like a river I don’t get nosebleeds I took it as a sign I retreat inside my skin not because it’s safer but because I know this temple was built to withstand the burning spirit that inhabits it these windows shatterproof these walls flame resistant at home I make my own stained-glass busted mirror —pools of silver crimson-dipped fractals of my busted fist repeated my mother always said I had too much fire in me I am a fire sign after all what did she expect I contain it within myself no, I try when I open my mouth embers erupt I catch the

Rats

I’m sat here in this heat, little one, trying to find the poison. It is the thread between me and you? The thick blood in our veins, slowly killing us even as it keeps us alive? When the time comes, if I can will I? You will not thank me, little one, you do not have to. To give one’s life is one thing, reputation and honour another. Can I do the right thing in the dark, when no one will see? Or am I no better than the rest? I keep asking why this is us, little one, or if this is us at all. In the 70s the rats escaped the cage only to lock us in it.

fragrances

dotted eyesight, autumn flies right past. bokeh closing in, the leaves are in the grass. bit about the waist, sash shifted by an eyelash laced. hither only evermore in tired grace. crash entirely adorned, falling fast the digits twirl to horns and brass. forms compact and glaze. grant us stasis in this effervescent graciousness, this epicentric gradient, this everlasting glade.

hope county

i. (amazing grace, how sweet) you rode in on a seraphim, wrath with the white horse champing. o, bit more than could chew. i knew you were coming, was told by the very one that brought you here. to me, to me, to my own gate. ii. (the sound that saved a wretch) you will try but i cannot be blinded, cannot be quiet, cannot be taken. no bit tongue here, grace only grows. like bliss, ivying up from eden through the rotors, like the heel on the head of the snake. holy, holy, the angel falls, like me. iii. (i once was) lost and hunted, slow as sin blooms in the enraged, you will be brought low. the other horses we will break, like the sea

the weight of the world

i. an entire universe curtsies and entreats my wander, guides me to nebulae still forming. here in the bight my stars grow, eager to fill these waters with brilliance and overwhelming good. oh everyone should feel this, a galaxy begging my discovery. little cove, you've been dear but now i must help these shimmers align and reward everyone that i love. ii. didn't take long for the depth to swallow. dire jaws of the earth smack grotesquely and spare no innocence. all of the shine's off the appalachians, now only rot. all i wanted to do was exude a radiance, trust in orbits and plot a course in the heavens. i am left heaving and knowing tha

most of us go quietly

with birth we are 'opened' - death we are 'shut' we cooperate - generally live 'flowingly' - but some exist to be fondly recalled - we suppose others are purposely popular - in nice clothes unless one invents 'the better mousetrap' receives The Nobel or whatever nice crap is amazingly famous - or infamous-ly known our one parting shot will be on our gravestone beneath it - we'll molder away for a while after keeping this mindful thru-out our last mile: the cosmic and random had brought us thus far we were never the focus - truly - never the star llp - dA - mar2022

unfettered lies liaisons of beings fear of the truth my crystal tears maiden in white tufts of dandelions no fury, no agony close your eyes symphony of purity kaleidoscope of peace breeze embalming the body sweet, sweet dreams when I die play this song and think of me as I dance at the spring of dreams
