Life-lines

"It is there"

She pointed
to far off
shroud-leaden darkness
two paths
through
which crawl bramble-trod
& rocky garden

had i left Utopia
burning
feckless autonomy
searing Deep sentient cold
that i've never been said the shadow
yet twas borne true
cooed Aurae

cans lie spilling open, littering Gods given forest
dragging dirt forth-with self-inflicted tears
scorch evermore, the Pearl who painted my visage

bridges crumble
without fault by others
it is center at every flaw
           i
plant hyacinthus


cue the cumbersome and prickly painted desert
where empty skies raise no constellation
the colours in me fade with such distance
another round
this simple sip
it is all i shall ever know

life
it is in these staggering lines
