    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

  • adventure

    your wonderland unexplored
    north of stockinged lace--
    please, don't turn out the light

  • to ash, to wind

    petals fall from heaven
    a rain in crimson
    we each carry thorn
    scratched grey of flint

    loss given to tristesse
    eyes given to cinereal
    as pussy willow given
    to ash, then to wind

    lone cry in the woods
    as to gloaming begins

  • sewer

    erase my stain
    and wash me
    down the drain
    sell me down
    that river deep

  • absurdity bear

    i will crawl into my cave and
    pull the hole in behind
    i will growl at passers-by...

    for—
    i have feasted upon absurdity
    i pass on consuming more today
    bad drivers and misbehaviors
    and far too much OCD
    i feel bearish of personality
    and at all this absurdity
