crows dance away from waves
laughing
shamanic word nomad

eyes to stars
crazy circles
lacuna spinning
round and round
winter still on
the wind

pressing stigmata to these hands arthritic these eyes cataractic twisting twisting on the wall conspirators nodding this is the way this is the way inside as raw meat twists still

the norn are a-weaving & i am tangled in their skein

it seems only right
flesh should mirror
my putrified soul

i should burn away
like morning fog
as if never here

wrapping shadowcloak
tugging the fringe
hole singularity home

my cheek resting
on naked thigh
you twirl my hair
around a finger tip
again again again

wraith-wyrd & wander from shadow umbra thick slipping greyshade in & around seeking the place resonance rings & we move in concert lovers ghost dance smoke drifting on night's breath
