seeing beyond sound

empty of eye
beyonding morrow
word fingers weird
silent memory songs

raven blood carries
the feyness
shadowed reflections
of futures
used to be

chant forest long

black soil ache
wrap your roots round
writhing midnight long
a kiss to forget
a kiss to recall
a kiss to remember
it all

spell break with
that hip sway song
bangles and coins
slumber me and
consume me whole

sahara

burning body
can desert-worn lips
quell this
torrid immolation?

technology

cousin crow
laughs at the irony

power out
no clue when it'll return

be careful
what you ask for

work...
less amused

mélange

shuffle now shamble
sleepwalking sleeptalking
more than you wanted
in this house tree hollow
aching for freezing fogs
to burn the
slumber summer
away

mourning

lonesome train
howling at the
loss of something
it can no longer
even
name

true name

the wind knows
your true name
but is disinclined
to share it with me
laughing instead
through summer leaves

doldrums

today, i weary
of rinserepeatlaundrylife
get up, piss, shower
eat breakfast
and rummage around
my head for where
i left the little motivation
i had yesterday
to do what i do not want
to be what i am not
waiting in prayer
for something
better

doldrums dragging
my soul around

futurespace

recalling last night's
chat with the fisher king
of wastelands and wounds
tapping his temple
he mouthed
it's all up in here

visionary

caught in
the streetlight twilight
slipping slowly
though the window

a ghost
of distant pasts
or future memories
slumbering in shadow

blinking
the shade fades away
