    darksky grey a’coming
    rumble her clouded head
    sparks sent across
    flint on steel in bed
    twisting her sheets
    around bare calf & thigh
    darksky grey a’coming
    through her evernight

  • red

    we live these falling red leaves
    on the wind turning & spin
    dancing, you ask for help on dying

    i have only these sundried bone
    to your blade glancing moonlight
    no, your night i cannot surrender

    a shower in crisp scarlet skitters
    i lay down these ossified arms
    waiting for the thrust and pierce

  • ritual hours

    ever thorn head burning
    one step in the without
    dancing in my devils
    twist my spaces thin

    knuckle bark to bone
    raw red and stone
    under covers counting
    hours writhe of poem

  • flowers

    i wonder at crimson pools
    of my blood i have spilled —
    when will come the bloom?

  • dreaming house

    what ghosts this dreaming house
    sleepwalking our sleep?
    trysting our sweat-damp sheets?
    giving hallow our hearth in creep?

    pale her flesh, her hair raven flow
    barefoot slipping through
    eyes open to ever unawake
    passing of room to room

    gazing out to lune and hedge
    through windows stained of dust
    would we to kiss her lips
    in that dreaming house of rust

  • skyhold

    i am lost in shadow &
    i weary reaching
    fragments moon &
    razor wire hold
    up the sky

  • everfade

    i everfade falling
    behind and unreal
    wept unseen
    the fogs now
    consume me whole

  • black stick

    black stick twisted
    of the night wood
    shadow into shadow
    turning right through

    black stick twisted
    rapping through brush
    thorn track tapping
    cracking them thick heads

    come to me
    run with me
    kiss dark ever a
    huntress moon

    send me your earth
    root me deep and
    raise my arms high
    to sun, to moon, to sky
    pour rain down on me
    wash me clean of stain
    stonefields under flint
    send me your earth
    tonight
