  • all that remains

    of a passion felled
    on burning leaves
    and smeared scarlet
    of lipstick from
    mouth to cheek;

    for ruins remaining
    of waiting at
    flint-skied piers
    in the everlast of dusk

  • forgotten

    phantom me
    slipping the edge
    promises knotted in lace
    waiting to be undone

    i was that woman
    once

    but you have forgotten

  • dirges

    a dreaming of you
    and shadowfell in
    the forgetting at wake
    they sang love dirges 
    in the fading away
    slipping umbral
    of fingers slight

    the better suture 
    my lips tight

  • coil lies barren

    shuffling off & cutting ties
    gone to drift on pale winds
    clutching at fragments only
    to toss useless scraps away

    4 u c —
    i realize this coil lies barren &
    there is only death & dream
    this debt is beyond counting
    and all that is left is
    to serve out my time

    i slip
    an ophelia amongst the reeds
    waiting for a mercy kiss
    to set me free

  • fantasy tale

    though she was no virgin
    and he no unicorn,
    he rested his head in her lap
    and visioned their journey
    riding across still waters in
    the shimmer of dream
