1. Annotated Peoples Make Connections: if they walked around in love/for love/by love with SFX labels to their chests
At first I was grateful. My proverbial
handkerchief had been picked up.
He blew the piece of cotton high
as a manner of greeting,
a quilt piece- a doily under my coffee
now a cloud. We were both light,
light from casting-off home.
In a building of pillows, sheets, shut curtains
and fulsome acts amongst sewing materials,
I looked down at the audience
of the waxy floor after the transient rain.
In a slippery distance, water and light met in color.
We met in color. I chose to leave the defined
end of the bridge onto a...

got stuck in the garden 2/30
got stuck in the garden
this is how to get shot
strolling late to the party
doubly fashionable by missing a year
the house torn by the garden wild
fleshy raspberries buddha squash
champagne vines climb the fir next to a disassociated lamppost
the gussied barrow misses a leg in the crook there the crock has a teardrop hole
driveway carless & only becomes engaged by the light rays which moves still things in shadow
flowers write letters to the sky
people were once upon a time the creationists
of dust & are

Mutual Alliance
Expressive natures,
Intrinsic keen of thirsts.
Flower petals; sapped of water.
Fragranced deceit,
Sweetness,
the increased illusion.
Nights of moon walk-dancing owls along shorelines.
Island … breezes …. tenderness of smirks
Bewitched
Curls of palm trees and pearls,
Engraved tempest and coldness of
Heaven’s drip,
The strength of curvaceous whirlwinds
And thunder reckoning the eyeball of a storm.
Serene warmth,
And peacefulness of seas,
Night sky horizon.
Shaped shadows- ...

Insight
Let the obscurity of night embrace
your insecurity; light leaves this space.
Release the tension from your spine; feel free.
Ease your attention, drink some wine, and see.
Your pupils dilate, you must believe.
Fill yourself, create, trust what you perceive.
Still, I deem you are lost; uncloud your mind.
Shrill dreams, the cost endowed, who did you find?
your insecurity; light leaves this space.
Release the tension from your spine; feel free.
Ease your attention, drink some wine, and see.
Your pupils dilate, you must believe.
Fill yourself, create, trust what you perceive.
Still, I deem you are lost; uncloud your mind.
Shrill dreams, the cost endowed, who did you find?

Dead Planes and Scoured Spheres
In blackened depths, the planes drift lost
Where stars are but a ghostly gleam
Voids where ancient bounds are crossed
They haunt the edges of a dream
Cold winds of space, like whispered breath
Bemoan the fate of worlds unwound
And dusted realms of silent death
In spiraled madness wheel around
Forgotten paths through empty spheres
Unseen by gods, unknown by light
Hold echoes of primeval fears
And shadows of eternal night
No distant sun can pierce the veil
No spark dare grace the endless maw
The very...
Where stars are but a ghostly gleam

Forgotten paths through empty spheres
Unseen by gods, unknown by light
Hold echoes of primeval fears

An Unnatural Quiet
They come, they come, shadows cold and sly
That dance in silence, mocking as they flit
A host unseen, with thousand unseen eyes
And each one fixed upon my shivering wit
O silent fiends, why creep ye through my cell?
Is’t not enough my mind’s become thy prey?
Ye slither, lurk, and fester—yet none tell
What foul delight or purpose bids you stay
Hark! They do whisper, low and serpent-sweet
Their voices coil within the breathless gloom
“Come nearer, fool, where light and shadow meet,
And touch the edge of thy eternal doom.”...
That dance in silence, mocking as they flit

What foul delight or purpose bids you stay
Hark! They do whisper, low and serpent-sweet

“Come nearer, fool, where light and shadow meet,
And touch the edge of thy eternal doom.”...

In Shadow Adorned
Beneath the silk, so black, so fine
A hollow husk doth lay in rest
No pulse, no breath, no sacred sign
But rot within its lifeless breast
The fabric clings, a mourner's veil
It whispers grief in shadowed seam
Yet hides the truth, so stark, so frail
A corpse that mocks the mourner's dream
Its folds like night, they shroud the stain
Of flesh decayed, of hope long fled
And yet the lie, through silk, doth reign
To mask the ruin of the dead
O mournful weave, thy beauty feigned
Thou canst not halt what death hath...

Of flesh decayed, of hope long fled

Insight Gained
Sanity
Wanderings through forbidden crypts
Knowledge here from impossible planes
Of beasts with flesh torn and skin ripped
Rites to seek blessed sanguine pain
A message in the numbers and sacred shapes
Burn it all and hear the infected shriek
Charred skeletons with mouths agape
Hippocratic oath violated amongst death's reek
Sanity Withers
Yet deeper still, the shadows wind
Through caverns choked in rot and grime
Where ancient symbols pulse and blaze
And whisper truths that curse and daze
For here the...

A Flame of Decay
O Fire, thou art a spectral breath
That fans decay to feasts of death
Thy embered kiss on flesh doth creep
In darkened halls where silence weeps
What ghostly hunger dost thou crave
To turn the strong to ashen grave?
In twisting dance, thy tendrils coil
To rend the bone and flesh to soil
Alas, the frame, in sinewed pride
Is but a pyre where worms reside
A hallowed form, so wrought in vain
Consumed, unmade by thy disdain
Thus flesh returns to dust’s embrace
Where fire leaves naught of earthly grace
An...

Coup(unseen)
Coup(unseen)
There was a coup unseen
In beautiful Myanmar
Democracy ruined by a junta
Coup de tat sounds kinda nice
Till the bullet tears an innocent
Soul open
Happened two years ago
But the world hasn’t noticed
Too busy with invasions and
covid and disinformation
Half a world away
On the other side
What we don’t see
We don’t seem to feel
They are wanting the same things
We’re really not that different
Not the same customs or culture
But deep inside crack us open
