Do you ever stare
into the eyes of a beautiful soul
and wonder how many memories they hold?
How many thoughts they've had of you
...
Once I saw a solar eclipse.
Like dusk at midday
the sun darkened
to New Moon black
...
Laced with eloquence;
she glides along the dusty riverbed,
One blood rose in her hair and the funeral flower in her hand.
Ebony trails lash at the flaky ground
...
Tonight my name is lonely.
Dressed up in bed clothes and black bag eyes,
I tried to make it tidy, it got all messed up again,
An ache only a woman can feel creeps up and down my lower back as slow as the icey wind outside.
...
Pale berries fade to bright
Leaves green whisper autumn
Creasing brown and crisping – falling,
July parts with Summer sudden as fright.
...
Woman stops at a window
below a blood-orange sky,
Watches drinkers sip from china
cups, tuck crumbs into napkins,
...
I wonder why this angel
is able to fly.
Light and pure
he may be
...
I wanted to touch the bones
To trace my fingers over the smooth
Curvature of ribs
And leave my vibration and prints.
...
Stones mold around me
As the ocean sweeps
Them into grains and
Erodes this punished beach.
