  • with pictures

    i kiss you with pictures
    windswept and forlorn
    with winter racing across
    the unfrozen pond
    everything stained scarlet,
    pierced pale & bruised black
    pricking skin in hoar
    to bring bright on pink

    i kiss you in pictures
    burning as flame draws fire
    burrow deep, now
    under the root's tangle
    bury me deep inside
    & draw me ever down

  • Death at the Wharf

    I was murdered at Fisherman’s Wharf late one night in the month of July, way back when in 1995.

  • to see

    this nothingness,
    a rope around my feet
    marked in stains & aches
    burnt remains
    sullied & unclean
    grasping at waters 
    waiting blind for to see

    go away cold
    i give hills empty

  • casting a glam

    ever to changeling
    given to folk & cunning 
    ever at wild, ever of wode
    given to seething & wood

    hands see & eyes hear
    many the calling beneath
    bury the heart under leaves
    bury the bone under loam

    ever to changeling
    given to folk & cunning 
    ever at wild, ever of wode
    given to seething & wood

  • waystation waiting

    at the waystation waiting
    on the medicine train 
    with a spirit at the wander
    all the stars in glittershine
    pouring towards winter stone

    i've enough of
    mirage and mirrors
    all sacrificed now in
    pressing thorn to bone

    whistle calling
    as razor cuts the dawn

  • mornings

    ephemeral as morning fog
    she drifts all hither and thither
    unaware of the ghost
    residing in plain sight

    with her burning 
    all haunts go to ground
    shackled in place and
    never to fade away

  • unimagine

    i unimagine shared madness
    wrapped of kohl eyes twinned
    and mirroring the within
    unimagine a phantom recollect
    of promises bound in lace

    another madness, another dream
    another unworthy

    we ghost nighttime streets
    cobbled in maritime fog
    forgetting unimagined
    shared madness together for
    a dreaming winterlong

  • memento

    laying snow to the ready
    her hair tumbles down
    night against the pale

    i give to the weary 
    a wanting to the wait
    pictures with shadow hands

    wind speechless stole 
    blood lips silent kiss
    to hum at barbed wire

    can you remember?

  • burning low

    i so ghost the slip/fade
    the lips, they move
    the words, they say
    lost to the flux/shift
    miming animal faces
    in heavy rains

    it is only echo, right? 
    i ask night burning low

  • whispers

    duty bound
    to do away with sense:

    can you firewalk
    with me under a
    tumblemoon, with
    stars slicing eyes?
    let our feet fail ground
    before our wedding day
    you & i laying down
    rainy grey under
    at the quayside...

    —and i think you know
    how this story ends;
    with whispers wraith
    kissing ears
    as all suns bury down
