deep waters/

reaching deep
to clutch the feral
& draw it up to the
rain shattered surface of
an autumn painted lake

rail/

caught in the dream
the train leaving descending
three a.m. boarding
to no place at all

painted grey, the sky
the snow, cars shushing by --
everything aching for color

winter winter
wind dancing edge of ice
crying distant sirens

i fell
& my wings
failed
heart flailing
&
swallowed
by the
felon
earth
below

drifting --
amputated memories
of a cheek on
your thigh
tasting
you
on
my
lips

becoming distangled
i slip past the moorage
to slip beneath
that final wave
to rest under the water

break rhythm traps
earth has its own meter
sky has its own song

awake and restless
haunted by vague dreams
a mouth tasting the
breadth of me before
swallowing me whole

threefold
obsidian to salt
carried close
black eyes found
everwatching
