    come the drift as
    voices fade away
    the taste of ash
    'cross my tongue
    distrust, the taste
    of dream

    bone hands stolen
    of twilight childe
    hold onto me, hold
  • pict-too

    a slendering into irrelevance
    pict-too pict-too painted blue
    —and now the unwanting

    to crawl down to bed in seek
    to find a dream in shiftspace
    between the you and the me

    that clackbone cracking
    after the summer, corewood
    once living, now dead

    kiss me before the afterglow fades
    pict-too pict-too all painted blue
    to slip to my slendering again

    sudden summer rain
    calls to the napping
    of grey dark the room
    i still ache to dream

    winter tales,
    winter song
  • crash

    distractions become bliss with
    the fever of fingers dancing
    in the darkest shadows and
    a kiss before that small death
    where stars blur and blend
    slipstream into one present
    into rising waves of pasts
    beyond remembering
    to crash into you
  • consuming flame

    Campfire

    dirt under nails
    cut ragged for
    all the digging
    leaving roots
    bared to the sun

    my lifeblood
    flows these
    seeking fingers
    and i stare
    wondering
    where it has
    all been drawn

    wicker the dreams
    at the man
    caging flame
    consume all
    desires for ash
  • her waters flow

    under burning skies
    and
    echoes in between
    wander as shuffle
    grow at weary
    aching for a fall
    to wash hands in
    her waters flow
  • axis;

    we all a whorl
    turning in & out
    labyrinthine & fell
    for the internal
    shadowed twists
    allowing for hel in our
    heart bone hearts

    can you see your teeth?

    we lay down there
    at the wytching tree
    buried of her womb
    wishing we could
    embrace her dream

    kissing at distance
    hands dreamlaced time
    drawspacing the narrows
    thin between eachwith line
    mouth to breath shared
    of lips gone surrender
    no longer bound of care
    silkslip and thigh
    that flesh dreamt skin
    pulling pastlives present
    willing you in
  • spinning stone

    standing stones

    a twist on a turn of words
    her flower, his hunger
    they spin stone for bottle
    counting crows perched
    high on the live wire
    to see who gives what & how

    his is the spring
    & her seething gives to dance
    with her flair, her flail
    her everything & ghost
    his everything & love

    suspecting the hollow
    of the old trunk
    in the field alone stands
    they spin bottle for stone
    while crows writhe & laugh
    at how the given becomes what
    in seething this spring
  • wither

    Photo by Ronin on Unsplash
    wither of hand
    her pale song
    under white of snow
    gathering round
    the earth of wood
    as crow calls
    at the night
    of stony foot
