  • drain empty

    all drains empty waiting for
    someone like you to fill me

    fox screams at the moon
    while owl waits in silence
    ghost chill on my shoulder
    as you drift through
    feet never touching stone
  • drifting

    needing not to need or
    to be the object needed
    a settle into sitting as
    do stone, moss and tree
    just a drift of fine snow
    blowing feathers across
    the long and open road
    whispers polish asphalt
    under a sun hung low
  • dicing

    under twilight longing
    restless and wrench ache
    ever just dreams slipping
    lacuna & moon dipping
    blood for the ash given for
    palms crossed with silver

    time to toss the dice,
    wondering at if
    they come up
    twin death's head moth or
    showers pouring over
    with a sighed name
    on the northern wind
  • at the fading

    wisp whisper am
    breath sigh on wind
    crisp and have shatter

    slender parchment thin
    unseenly and obseenly
    ghosting of wing

    tok tears am pale
    scene at the fading
    screaming on howl

    lack beginning
  • lost for

    i am lost and
    i need to get
    more lost to see
    a way through
    for the forest and
    also the trees

    on a long and
    winding road
    is where silence
    begins
  • learning to talk

    can we speak plain
    cos i have forgotten
    how to speak
    and the words lost
    all meaning in
    the fog of dream

    anyway

    we needs must find
    them again

    we sought meaning
    in rootsoil and mycelium
    turned over understone
    beseeched the sky
    (i think you know why)
    and whispered to crows
    for their insight

    and as for our meddle?
    we still sit speechless
    about all the things
    under the oak tree
    under the wings

    come, kiss me
    to spoken, my dear,
    under a turquoise sky
  • hill of dreams

    i rest my head at
    the hill of dreams
    waiting there for
    the ghost of you
  • in that slipshadow

    in that slipshadow
    your hand on my hip is
    my hand on your hip
    cutting the twilight
    of midnight under
    a lazy summer moon
    hanging low enough
    to grasp if but
    for only slender hours
    before is slips behind
    an ashen veil of dream
  • inside the inside

    Photo by Alice Alinari on Unsplash
    i am inside her inside me
    and you cannot cannot see
    for the fog obscured of her
    mists and dark moon we
    both dance naked beneath
    as i am her of inside me

    this is not a broken
    this is just how the we
    under red the apple tree
    to come with her as
    she comes with me
  • still do not

    long that road & more
    i still do not know
    where it will lead
    i have my doubts that
    the path heads north
    i still do not know

    our hands become expressions
    reflections of our thoughts
    feathering fans before eyes
    fingers return to masks

    long that road & more
    i still do not know
    what we will find in end
    i still do not know
