    tossing the tethers, ropes
    tying to dock and pier
    letting current carry away

    adrift and slipping away
    spinning in eddies away
    never wanting to arrive

    never to, never arrive

    our lady of crows
    waits above the ford
    will you bed her at river
    should she bid you?
    be she maiden or crone?
    she waits on her lover,
    our lady of crows

    have you come to
    collect waters issued of
    our lady of crows?
    to reap on the harvest,
    as gifted bounty of
    our lady of crows?
    or have you come to
    enjoin at frenzy and fury
    of our lady of crows?

    i wait on dreams
    of her fountainhead,
    at her narrows standing

    flow her water, oak & ash
    hazel & blackthorn sharp,
    at her narrows standing

    wait upon gold & rust
    for rime & without reason,
    at her narrows standing

    long the night i belong
    set to slumber underground,
    at her narrows standing

    Since deciding to take up reading at the end of August whenever I feel compelled to scroll on the internet, pick up a video game for distraction purposes, or give in to the statement, “I’m bored”, I’ve managed to knock out twelve books which amounts to what is just shy of 5000 pages, by Goodreads’ account. That includes an audiobook that I finished during that time (I include audiobooks as “reading”, because I largely listen to them while driving, and this one would only contribute about 300 pages to my total).

    (more…)

  • coil lies barren

    shuffling off & cutting ties
    gone to drift on pale winds
    clutching at fragments only
    to toss useless scraps away

    4 u c —
    i realize this coil lies barren &
    there is only death & dream
    this debt is beyond counting
    and all that is left is
    to serve out my time

    i slip
    an ophelia amongst the reeds
    waiting for a mercy kiss
    to set me free
