refuge in isolation



for the want of a weep
he abandoned her cheek
left lonely her arms 
still outstretched

for the want of a word
he abandoned the herd
kept only the dreams
he would sketch

the mix

kisses



kisses

pillow’d kisses
cotton kisses
flower’d kisses
clouded kisses
rainbow’d kisses
any kiss

just to kiss you

dead

retracing



from her shoulders
medially
sloping upwards
slightly
to the back of her neck
down
along the fall of her spine
spreading
around the waist of her earth

retracing

the continued
journey

hand and
tongue

pantomimed expressions
a poet in a quote cage
tying fire with a tourniquet

nothing accomplished

enraged burn

baggage claim


she cut through her skin with a grin
as if to say
  see, that’s how i empty my baggage

her whole world spilled out before me,
to her it was just another cleansing

we spent all night talking it out
over shots of rum
and tightly rolled joints

  you know i’d never do this
  without you next to me
  right?

and laughter filled up
the empty swollen eyes

(5-7-5)

winds subtle or harsh
i will stand here either way
poised unscarred unscathed

remora


feeling fed upon
waved
slick in the currents

the taste in your throat
it is i
whore residue

cast from my skin
with a twitch
to darkness

i am clean and i
roam deep seas
once again

on this good earth



kiss me here 
on this good earth
i stand here waiting 
in a field of illusions

kiss me as 
my lips bleed out
cracked on the punch 
of loneliness

kiss me twice 
for hell and heaven
my low my high
both lips longing

kiss me now 
hanging over the edge
and be brave enough 
to fall with me

down



it was always the sky
 the depth of the sky
 the questions of space
 the beauty of the cosmos
that made her want to jump

it was never the ground
 the certain impact
 the clouds of dust
 the feeling of an end
no
it was never her intention
to fall

but she fell 
looking up
the whole way
down

a heart is like a hammer


nobody told me
your spine was brittle
made of crisp straw structure
hollow through the center

and your eyes were clouds
stormed with rain
just waiting to fall,
first tears leaking the flood

and your heart was flat,
the beating of depression
had lulled it to a bass line
of muted notes

nobody told me
to love you would kill you
and the touch of my heart
would bring a hard hammer down

(5-7-5)


shade me shallow, peace
comfort by your tender side
cesious canopy

vacancies



all around me now
just empty spaces
 vacancies
 everywhere
the places you used to be

from the corner of my eye
in peripheral vision
there in a reflection
here as i stare

just empty spaces
all around me now
 vacancies
 everywhere
catacombs and graves
