  • star to stone

    lessons learned,
    i fold up my life
    tears and creases plenty
    across a worn map
    places to see through
    the hills and vale
    stuff it into my satchel
    without ceremony
    as i crush compass
    underboot and follow
    a star to stone

  • my eye

    not chasing butterflies i
    not watching foxfire tonight
    wisps, they drift the willow
    and there i turn my eye

    she wraps her pale in shadow
    she wraps my heart in wire
    tug with bone scarred ivory
    wrapping shades through my eye

    bit lip to raw and scarlet
    bit neck to pierce the sighs
    inking skin with stars and night
    sending ink to black my eye

  • hungers the wind

    i have drawn lines
    along the trees
    dreaming worlds within,
    time to set aside fevers--

    we swing heartache
    for her hills hollow
    but now there is
    naught left but
    for the dying

    willow willow
    hungers the winter winds

  • bone dreaming

    bone dreaming
    we rattle under ash
    crisp as leaves
    kissed of rime

    bone dreaming
    we slip that streaming
    to rest at sieidi
    longing of the everlast

  • hermitage calling

    Campfire

    hermitage calling,
    i shuffle to mountaintops
    to sweep out the debris
    from my simple shack
    a facet of memory,
    what hint of comradery;
    it is slow work with
    a single black quill
    but it pleases
    spirits when i do—

    we flamegaze the dusk
    telling tales 'til dawn
    between long silences
