Keeping here,painted in smears,letting goof teardrops from a moonwhose face is that of a silver trace,whose presence waitsfor another night, seeing me, unanswered. Broken song.A wail from a throat,and in the reiterating of speech, I repeat what I thoughtwas never said, was never repeated, was never saidwhen we were never wed. It was said,a long…

Over the mirrorfor yourself-condescension,your universehas been inflatingyour secrets. In your reflection,you are knotted,holding back a lifeout of fearof what followsafter a second. Simplicityis your drawback,while a kind gesturecompels youto rethinkwhat you failedto bring. Your imaginationtravels everywhereto find enemiesin shadowsthat never existedbefore you made themfrom red clay. Your woundsare your answersto keep runningyour mouthdown a cave,echoing…

Bite the lipthat tremblesfrom a first beliefthat turbulencehad cleared. Drown the achein Neptune’s flood,after broken fleshhas been burieda total of twice. To rememberyour fall,I’ll be temptedto dive right in,to reclaim what I hopeddeath wouldn’t take. To revisitwhere your lighthad vanished,I might use the momentto explore a realmunmeant for beating hearts. You’ve been promisedbetter peace,greater reliefthan…

Distinguishingiron truthsfrom limitless,liquid directions,we’ve let inmere sounds,muted messages. There are visionsthat know whatto see, in knowingthere are other sightsunable to be unseen. The deaths of manycan’t filter pastthe tyrannical unconscious,passing filtersplaced under deceit. A life must recognizespaces in the ivy.Always overgrown,as it still showswhere growthmust go. Fires cannotsolve everythingat once. Distill the snowto be drunkon…

A single channelto reflectupon a life too farfrom reaching arms,where hidouesnessreplaces beauty. Emptinesssmothered a light,blocks warmthfrom melting winterinto infinite dropsfrom eyes that starein one direction. Where you went,I cannot go,until I’ve also beendismemberedfrom summer. I can’t deliveranother kissto your wide face,just to the shadowyou left here. I’m dreamingfrom eons awayfrom the momentI’ll suffocateon the iceon…

Bitter secretion,absolute secrecycovers upyour bodyinto haze. You still attemptto stretchyour hollowed voicetowards a sunrise. You still hopeto revive what’s left,to be heardfrom bruised lips. To dreamof dying in reverse,to reopenyour cold heartto the heatof reenvisioned life. It’s agonyto see you walkingwithout weight. It’s ceremonyto see you outliningyour form from blood.

The sun’s risenabove its curtain,painting widethe earth’s fleshwith a blinding displayof white-out. To mute our rebirthedchorus of cries,we must lookwithout looking ahead. We must break,without breaking bread. It doesn’t sustainour malnourished minds. We’re asking for dropsfor an emptied ocean. We’re seasonalfor how we fall. We’re fatalfor staying still. A hush without a vowdrives us into…

Those times we kissedsuch scars we hopedwould fade beforeour lives had to departtowards inevitability. Death doesn’t answeranything but its own,achieving the same resulton a constant stream. A perpetual tollthat turns futuresonto the brazenimpact of sequence. It all happensfor the reasonwe want to deny. Our spiritsare kept in a bottle,ready to spill. What gooddoes running do,when…

Should pain showthe right direction,aside fromthis sluggish bleed,I swear to bethe first to admire. For the while,it carries onspeech that leaksfrom a mouthfilled with rotten teeth,torn testaments. Appreciationsaves nothingbut tattered pages,better left on a pathblack with decay. I’m sinkingseconds into hours,hours into a lifetimewaiting for hopeto boil over. No handhas wanderedthis wayto remind me. No…

I anticipatea hallwayto roam down. It’s without lights,within a draftcoming froma space betweenwhat was a smile. You are cold.A hollowed out,filtered shell. Where did life go,with its wings? I’ve been brought low,at the same momentyou were lifted. You carry your endingwith better grace. Solid stonebecomes my heartwhen I’m taking shelterfrom the rain. Twisted bonesbecomes my…

It driftsjust within reach,turning your awarenessinto liquid chaosthat runs amok. You want tosee everythingthat doesn’t matter,dissolving truthinto counterweights. Your worldmeans no harm,until you turn itinto what you want. What you needis from the thunderthat relights your voyagefor greater strength. Your sundies in the earth,drained of its light,dead in the nightyou welcome into beat back the…

If you can,describe its familiarity.My handdives into contestbetween black velvet,the night, the rightto be recognized. Your coming deathwill enter in the secondthat tears will,while I drop the weightfrom a tight grasp. From warmthinto being frozen,into nourishingthe earthupon a whirlwind. I’m alreadydelivering fearinto another world,the one I’d preferto see burn. I’m embracingremaining moments,rememberingloud ticksfrom a towering…

Deliberate uneasehas unfurled you,with blackened wingssettled among winds,blending in withunchanging scenery. You’ve burnedthrough yourbottomless abyss,landing a kissupon the first stoneyou’ve found. What you havefor memoriesare what you leadwithin reveries. Who you refusewithin such tearsyou let loosekeeps you guessing. Warmth can comefrom a simple gestureto head intoa lighthouse’sbold, oncoming rays. You’ve mistooklove for tyrannyto be devotedto…
