  • moon gazing

    Photo by Alla Kemelmakher on Unsplash
    i have still not learned to
    unexpect all the things
    even the moon might
    choose to hide shy
    behind her pale veil
    at least some of the times

    impenetrable clouds
    mar my view
    i turn eyes from
    skies to soil
    to readjust anew

  • slow break

    my slow break echoes
    through and through
    an empty world
    timber splintered decay

    how long the weary
    before even weary
    must fall down?

    pale songs cut
    our rebel selves

  • invisible i

    invisible i
    and they
    could care less
    that my skies
    have gone out
    laying there
    atop those
    hollow hills
    all night

  • the myths ourselves

    the myths we make
    of ourselves, those
    pretty things untrue
    a longing for silence
    in this sodden head
    to rest, buried deep
    & loam embraced
    drifting through

  • wildwood dreaming

    a path in the middle of a dark forest

    wildwood dreaming
    and crows calling deep
    scheming to claim eyes
    staring blind at the sun

    knapping the scrim
    turning the scroll
    ink under fingernails
    waiting for her to call

    three heads turn shadow
    six wings raise flight
    turn twin eyes blind
    obscured from the sun

  • returning

    leaden where laying
    chill water, now, chill water
    flow over falling
    crossed arm lake returning
    rest head stone in slumber
    until the next call

  • empty halls

    Photo by Nicole Elliott on Unsplash
    i wraith empty halls
    where you cannot
    see me even if
    i tried

    outside, a mournful owl
    rages at the moon
    his love lost
    to this endless sea

  • betweening

    longing's curse,
    a burden without end
    between languish & lassitude
    memories to ribbon remains
    between lovers & friends

  • antlers stand silent

    Photo by Tengis Galamez on Unsplash
    my hands carry scenes
    from a different winter
    stiff with memories
    yet to come

    blood crust blades the snow
    windswept carved the land
    why only the never?
    antlers stand silent of stone

  • maple seeds

    Photo by Cornelia Munteanu on Unsplash
    like any fool
    i remain clueless
    watching maple seeds
    helicopter from
    sky to grass
    wondering if,
    like unspoken words,
    they have any
    intent
