thank you sun

thanks jess

I call them the two sisters. They listen well when you need to vent and teach you about the seasons should you ask. That's the thing about nature, people seldom ask and yet trees are always willing to answer.

plough, fair seized in
under bonny thunderin'
—a drought too long

thank you

many days
spent lifeless,
surrendering,
a drowning brick,
floating on her bed
through endless
abused territory,
wave after wave
threatening
an upending,
wave after wave
of harmony
brought
atonal;

the captain
will go down
with the boat

I would die if you would bury me in the shallow grave of your left collarbone. To haunt the perch above your heart and flute my longing through your ribs is more #harmony than I have earned in this lifetime, but I would die - am dying, let me die - to sing spring into your pulse.

thanks mizz

there's #harmony in each nail as it's forced between fibres of deadwood, and the splinters of hope-giving light are extinguished. there's acceptance in the notes of #brick clay, and finally giving up, that penetrate like darkness through lifelessness

Jolted
jilted
junked,
skin bears
painful tenderness
shown
too late;

Thrown
tossed
tumbled,
heart detonated
regret lightning to
fingernails,
curved to claws;

Fired
fried
fizzled,
bacon a
humorous
critique of
dating

thanks daniel

the vibrant spark dwindled to ember remembrances, like the throes of a distant #lightning storm, or the redolence of a flower pressed into beloved poetry. my #skin is stilled, no longer #jolted to life by the thought of her; like a stare burns thru faraway memories

thanks i appreciate it

thank you

At the pull of a thread,
calamity,
I am emptied,
lethargy now my
cloak,
no sense in remembering
what never was,
no sense in grieving
the new clay form;

At the pull of a thread,
unleashed,
I am barren,
and the world
awaits

The sun didn’t rise
#Lethargy crept filling us up
From our toes to our eyes
Like a moonflower maiden i stood still
When the air had hung silent
I should have known it be an omen
The dark side of a love spell
Sent by the moon
Falling commets crashing stars

thanks mizz whazzit

dirty fingernails
a scent of blood & soil
petals #blossom on linoleum
as the thorn exacts its toll
an #empty pot awaits
its futile utility
—a vase by any other name
together they enable the #lethargy
of a dying flower
who dreams of breezes
& the garden of its youth

lower Poestenkill Falls after the rain

we moved through the brambles
towards a roar of water
fog and mist catch us slowed
a dark loam beneath slips
into a covered broken shale carpet
a deep green sumac trellis
births crimson velvet reaches
the Poestenkill cataracts are near
we can hear hungry sounds
gather us a rite rain #vss365

Window views. Not always reflective, not always welcoming and definitely each one, unique. Cobwebs of life trail on us all, don't they?

there is no redemption
for one without redeeming grace
so i tread outside the flowerbed
my only gift to the garden
once believed, now #deceived
my flesh is calloused
no fool to a touch of kindness
my mind's eye grew blind
a #cataract to suppress the dreams

thank you

what of the finite
uncountable moments
forgotten w/ the mundanity
of paths well-worn
or swept away
by intermittent gusts
of #bitter winds
we remember
the #dragon soaring overhead
not the #timid, nesting wren
but it's in these
insignificant moments
that we carry on

hold your pain, it won't hold back

This skin,
this skin,
doesn’t fit-
I’m uncomfortable
I cannot stand,
I cannot sit;

quest for soul,
quest for more,
the wrinkles
and freckles
keep the score;

This skin,
this skin,
is mine for good
I would not trade it
if I could
