Nothing for you to skim, scoff, talk at but pale fliers on the board, abandoned by the door long alphabet lines, stacked into tiles high above my head, my mind, my reach; but I am the measure, the file, tile, line that makes every mark appear darker, more there than I who is translucent, paleContinue reading “translucent”

Wind in the sea instead of the sky
The trail is long From where your ancestor stepped before mine, And meters marked on the stone-cliffed walls Shores broken and scattered locked hearts, Hearts to never be unlocked in piss-filled corpses; Mother’s tears caught in the wind storm Like the clouds that whisper sweet London fog and colony muddied and deep In the carnageContinue reading “Wind in the sea instead of the sky”
Spaces, places, and unspoken definitions
What are you? I mean The slurred stars gathered at the horizon Or the papers shuttered closed, Between window seal and gray doors Hidden waterfalls, a delicate surprise Balanced on top of memory; Words and thoughts, Being and unbeing Split here and there, With nowhere to go; Am I the words you hear, The sightsContinue reading “Spaces, places, and unspoken definitions”

Paradise Falls
Stars rest on the tight lid of paradise Rising and sinking with eons of light; Drinking the soothing words of love Tasting of blooming roses and hues of blue; To shine through the invisible layer of heavens Stacked high past the cumulus clouds Settling viridian and clementine where the sky meets; Feeling for a momentContinue reading “Paradise Falls”
Greatness

Due East
When the world ends And the sun sets low and full, Too heavy to carry fire Asteroids, the last of us I’ll be waiting beneath the twisted tree North of undone Due east of dead ends Where the intersection of the stars Glare across the sky Painted drones of violet
Sleeping Willows
The resting Styx Parrots the sky Stuck in time Floating ash and pulling leaves of thyme To count and measure All the individual pleasures Human and inhumane Plucked and discarded To wash ashore, kindred gallow Beneath the sleeping willows
Space
Those that are farthest In the melting pot of emotions To be dreamed and feathered away to ash Cling to the ideals of tomorrow With gems fixated in the cornea Of the twinkle in the sky Pale reflections, crystal as solace Calm as illusions cast in the shape Molded by futures And every possibility toContinue reading “Space”
All shades of blue
Detachment is stiff water Rising to the ceiling Drowning, until the burst of cellular regeneration Grows gills, long fins, scales To float in nothing Cast away to islands of thought Boats of people, clutch in familiarity Wave after wave Until they set behind the horizon Watching as everything passes Like water slipping through fingers Angel-dustedContinue reading “All shades of blue”
