Winter’s coming And it’s been a decade Of powdered snow deep on sleeping soil Pink light fills the space around my eyes and I’m inside an oyster Pale geese framed in spun sugar buoyed by luminous green My limbs stretch and harden The room is filled with sun like amber ale, The edges softened byContinue reading “Monday Night Yoga”

One day I’ll hold you Warm and close like my 21st Summer, that quiet foreign Night, gazing up at the minaret I’ll smoke, find communion with all I can Hear but not see, and I close my lies, Fireworks decorating my inner galaxy; Outside is cold and loveless And inside isn’t always any better, but I’llContinue reading “Fireworks (Remix)”

I’m lying here where your brittled form lay curled and breathing not so long ago. Your skin turned sour and your voice too soft. I held your fingers and turned away from you folding in upon yourself. Breath held and eyes swimming, open upon a ceiling of smooth meringue. A collapsing seed planted in aContinue reading “Without You”

This concrete shrinks each evening, The sky’s no longer streaming And my dreams have been bleeding Together with you in unending Farewell The garden-beds lay flat with bitter shame As crestfallen chlorophyll fades into sorry brown, The cobbled pathways feel an empty same, Leading to the faded hue of this wretched town, That shamrock breezeContinue reading “Ne Me Quitte Pas”

I tried to sync our breathing on the dunes As the sky split and you shone amber apricot, But the climb left us both gasping In our own private oceans. I tried to find where the creases Of your eyes ended And the gentle contours of sand began As you laid your head back againstContinue reading “What we left in the sand”

Resentment pooling Babies drooling My last nerve spooling on a finite thread Who am I fooling? It’s not my calling  I’m falling, failing, where is my head   My teeth are grinding  On this ring-tight binding And I keep finding a pinching dread This endless minding I’m forever pining For solitude from whining, an emptyContinue reading “Failing you, my loves”

Am I going mad? Or is it this deepening fog That’s left me just a slice of an unsmudged person Pillars, towers, a fortress of fungi have filled the space between my ears And like a malfunctioning VCR I spit out the same words ad infinitum  ‘No!’ ‘Stop!’ ‘Come here!’ ‘Eat your dinner!’ My teethContinue reading “Sunlight”

Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Fertility, Woe is me, The one who dwells between your knees. Hold me squeeze at the heart of the seed That flows freely where tongues have no keys Where the answer is blowing through the trees, Rustle the right way my dearest, please, And fill these graham crackersContinue reading “Fertility”

I am a dark-feathered duck, Back to the current, Blinded to where it all leads But content to sit in its lap. I know that you are waiting Across the other side, And our no-reception phone-calls sound like Satan Bleating down the line, But give it time, I’m sure you’ll see That I’ll wait forContinue reading “Nothing is as it should be; Everything is alright”

We take the last light minutes for ourselves A canoe dipping and skimming across oil slick waters A chorus line of fish leap into the air around us And I wonder if we’ve forgotten the words to this love song It’s eight o clock and there’s a bonfire on the shore mirroring a nectarine skyContinue reading “Bon Anniversaire”
