like any fool
i remain clueless
watching maple seeds
helicopter from
sky to grass
wondering if,
like unspoken words,
they have any
intent

like any fool
i remain clueless
watching maple seeds
helicopter from
sky to grass
wondering if,
like unspoken words,
they have any
intent

tonight i might try
dancing barefoot
spinning & yearning
for a dark angel dreaming
with that mark of moth
bare shoulder worn
just to see her smile
all grey the ravens
under the trysting moon

darksky grey a’coming
rumble her clouded head
sparks sent across
flint on steel in bed
twisting her sheets
around bare calf & thigh
darksky grey a’coming
through her evernight

we live these falling red leaves
on the wind turning & spin
dancing, you ask for help on dying
i have only these sundried bone
to your blade glancing moonlight
no, your night i cannot surrender
a shower in crisp scarlet skitters
i lay down these ossified arms
waiting for the thrust and pierce

ever thorn head burning
one step in the without
dancing in my devils
twist my spaces thin
knuckle bark to bone
raw red and stone
under covers counting
hours writhe of poem
i wonder at crimson pools
of my blood i have spilled —
when will come the bloom?

what ghosts this dreaming house
sleepwalking our sleep?
trysting our sweat-damp sheets?
giving hallow our hearth in creep?
pale her flesh, her hair raven flow
barefoot slipping through
eyes open to ever unawake
passing of room to room
gazing out to lune and hedge
through windows stained of dust
would we to kiss her lips
in that dreaming house of rust

i puzzle am girl
jigsaw & ways
i sevenyear shattered
mask me pierced
cards they wrong
in draw of me
twisted & ways
i puzzle girl me
i am lost in shadow &
i weary reaching
fragments moon &
razor wire hold
up the sky

i everfade falling
behind and unreal
wept unseen
the fogs now
consume me whole
