  • learning to talk

    can we speak plain
    cos i have forgotten
    how to speak
    and the words lost
    all meaning in
    the fog of dream

    anyway

    we needs must find
    them again

    we sought meaning
    in rootsoil and mycelium
    turned over understone
    beseeched the sky
    (i think you know why)
    and whispered to crows
    for their insight

    and as for our meddle?
    we still sit speechless
    about all the things
    under the oak tree
    under the wings

    come, kiss me
    to spoken, my dear,
    under a turquoise sky
  • hill of dreams

    i rest my head at
    the hill of dreams
    waiting there for
    the ghost of you
  • in that slipshadow

    in that slipshadow
    your hand on my hip is
    my hand on your hip
    cutting the twilight
    of midnight under
    a lazy summer moon
    hanging low enough
    to grasp if but
    for only slender hours
    before is slips behind
    an ashen veil of dream
  • inside the inside

    i am inside her inside me
    and you cannot cannot see
    for the fog obscured of her
    mists and dark moon we
    both dance naked beneath
    as i am her of inside me

    this is not a broken
    this is just how the we
    under red the apple tree
    to come with her as
    she comes with me
  • still do not

    Photo by Connor DeMott on Unsplash
    long that road & more
    i still do not know
    where it will lead
    i have my doubts that
    the path heads north
    i still do not know

    our hands become expressions
    reflections of our thoughts
    feathering fans before eyes
    fingers return to masks

    long that road & more
    i still do not know
    what we will find in end
    i still do not know
  • desert undressing

    Photo by Dave Hoefler on Unsplash
    desert undressing
    her dune shifting sand
    under night chill waxing
    painted in badland tone
    she slips beneath shadows
    of her whispered song
    longing to hold you
    to her heart
  • all at grindylow

    Photo by pedram ahmadi on Unsplash
    all at grindylow
    and howling moon
    with the wind
    bash this smash this
    burning head
    towards the in

    my fingers spark
    flint like iron
    my heart burns
    at blood within
    all at grindylow
    and howling moon
    with the wind
  • regret in rear

    regret the mirror ugly
    spider cracked look back
    past pig gaping jaw
    to claw that face off
    fade skies out black
    we break everything
    until there is only empty
  • phantasmagoria

    Photo by Massimiliano Sarno on Unsplash
    straining again the fade away
    but whatever reason for?
    transparent to the oblivion already
    a silent walking phantasmagoria
    but raspy ghast my hollow voice
    left to knockers 'twixt walls tapping
    aimless wander alone
  • aches

    planting tree day and
    under fingernail clay
    exhausted, sore and
    i wish she was here
    to massage the
    heartache away
