evensong fallen

my arms swinging
swaying the night
streetlight & sundry
evensong fallen
i sought you in twin
pairs of shadows
sinking

coffee drip

coffee drip drawings
on the countertop
flowers and hearts

and three

sisters a'feather
taking turns masking
surrender to embrace
and three

under sleep trees

this is sickness
these putrid days
and nights
of lies toxic
hate-smoldering speech
poison cast
every salted field

is it any wonder
i ache for dream's embrace
under great trees' shade?

inamorata

between odds and ends
& the moonfall drawn down
inamorata, have you
dulled your razorblades?
no, doubts remain

my lips edge twilight
i struggle to recall
you shaping the nightsilver
moving thin, lean
between walls
seeking then
whatever you thought
you sought

was it anything at all?

winter threads

with window eyes
razor teeth sharp
captured songs
for the lost
winter threads
trailing off into
tomorrow

encampment

my life
no longer mine
i fade drift through
bright colours flutter
a window to your soul
barefoot tambourine
and wagon wheel

leaves in you hair
sun glow laughter
under flickering
tree shade

seeking coin kiss
myrrh treasure
in grey streak hair
drinking in
the world the world

missing menagerie

hand in hand
with all of the
freaks, spooks & ghouls
a missing menagerie
too quiet
too still

jagged

mad dancing
black sand beaches
ritual driftwood
and ocean ice
you think
this is choice
this neversea
in me
a ragdoll
thrall, spellbound
skree

dew drops

shouting at dew drops
wake her
dragonflies within
