I’ve forsaken the blinders
and to hell with the yearning
it took me lifetimes to realize
that this book is for burning

the long white seam

no wave the land-lock’d water stirr’d
the crags were white as cream
and I mark’d my love by candle-light
sewing her long white seam
I climb’d to reach her cottage door
o sweetly my love sings
like a shaft of light her voice breaks forth...
for o, for o, with brows bent low
by the candle’s flickering gleam
her wedding gown it was she wrought
sewing the long white seam
for o, for o, with brows bent low
by the candle’s flickering gleam
her wedding gown it was she wrought
sewing the long white seam

betelgeuse burns like a lantern tonight
atop her dim celestial her dim celestial stage
auburn flares bursting in bountiful leaps
as she twirls in her firmament
engulfing the hapless room
of heavenly bodies
within her warm corporeal crest
she knows her youngest days lay behind her
yet she has traveled light years
to experience the searing bliss
dwelling within this moment
passing through her skin
in a solar maelstrom of sweat,
lace and elemental grace
after the spotlight has died
in the green room mirror
she counts the wrinkles on her cheeks
with a sublime smile
like a bruised passionfruit
poised to plummet from its vine

feed me with solitude
satiate my need for knives and needles
and bleed me to desiccation
let the noble rot set in
skin withered and blistered
distill my history
inter me into intoxicant
but keep only the meekest sweetness
feed me with all your moods
misconstrued and unrenewed
feed me with tannic toxins
and box me in to your mold
controlled past my peak
until I am nothing more
than must

On the days that I feel
Like the world is an empty hallway
I fill that void with your face
In repose upon my stomach
Your eyes a feline glimmer
Lips upturned and hair cascading
In gentle helixes down your neck
In that space encased in glacial ice
We are traveling without moving
Beneath the crystalline stillness
Of your dark satin bedsheets
I sleep within your warmth
And dream undisturbed
Until morning

(future) dull grey

|

so dwell with me inside these walls
until the colors dissolve into dull grey
and the creeping vines strangle away
our mangled remains
into the soil’s warm depths
where they will linger in languid stillness
until the final days come
and the black banners flutter
the gobsmacked jackboots will behold
you and I and everyone we’ve ever loved
hand in skeletal hand...
dancing upon our graves
