turning blades
slicing fatty air
we are alone
together
castaways
upon a rumpled
cotton island
small noises
breaths and twitches
it seems impossible
your mind mirrors mine
in any way, hopefully
even the cruellest
universe couldn't make
the same mistake
twice

young like washed dawn skies
sun and cloud and speed contained
just barely begun

painted eggs hidden
ready for children to find,
some are chocolate
water in scooped earth
rippled by teasing wind
and we're huddled
moonlight gone and stars too
and frost filigree
flowing round our feet
on the horizon
fingertips of sun
testing grip
for the long heave
across the dome
to another fall
such small light
we keep our whispers quiet
as if words could shatter it
and night bows and withdraws
taking with her to keep safe
all we couldn't carry into the day

bright costumed dancers
quick flicker - pulse to the dirge
of wood's death crackle

It feels redundant,
all these blurted I love you's.
Yet each is fresh truth.
Why shy from repeated cheer,
but not its repeated lack?
the head a prison
with dim light and walls so dark
try to tear them down
- Zen Creature 
Have a nice evening!
Its sure not the shore
anywhere but New Jersey
they call it The Beach

my mom's singing in my youth
balsam for my ears

i'm haunting your ghost
given you seem tied to a place
i'm still free to leave
although i usually don't
spaces you knit from the world
shaped ways you hoped
would safehouse you
the scene of your harm
clatter the bones to shards
and the mind more fragile
just by mis-stepping
hospitalised again
watching you try to stitch together
rags of your shredded mind
to tapestry some meaning
to sheathe the blade of what is

sand frames the weeping
churning water - sand cradles
the land's slow yearning

despite all the variables
of the still water
and the clouded sky
and the deep unfolding
of equations being created
and solved via explosions
incoherence-wealthy ranters
seek protected status for lies
like they're types of wine
choosing small and fear
over sharp-tongued hope
knowing harm will ensue
selling the fetid dull crowd
on how it's safe and clean
to make people objects

Only volcanoes
Can tear down mighty mountains
While building new ones

the wrinkles on your face
paths to thrilling beauty
bewildering autumn light

Have a great day everyone!
the tea is bland
third steeping of scant leaves
and the last dribble of milk
rain on the windows
crowds muttering in the street
an animal or a person screaming
we have run out of words
and although we had a good run
it's been decades since our last fresh idea
if we are lucky
the cannibal children
rafting the rising seas
will find us and feed on us
saving us from lives
completely wasted
