IN A SENSE

reset.

push closer to the right third

right, I'll miss this mise en scene

right, there's no place I'd rather be.


touch me with your light.

I want to feel warm in my elbows

are you ripping away religion?

is this lostness buried somewhere in your stripe?


aching in my knuckle joints as I reach, claws,

grasping for you.

time feels like weariness

who am i?


lowly.

wandering.

detached.

floater.


I want to know you -

the height and depth and length and width of you.

planes slice the sky.

quiet on the set.

you'll find me.

i'll touch you, in bodies and eyes and warmth again.

in blazing white snow roads and gleaming mountains.

in frigid mornings and furious nights.

in a bed alone where I shouldn't be,

where I miss you hovering over me.


violence silence is your pursuit.

BLOOD BATH

LOVE ON THE LOUDSPEAKER

love like lightning.

r i v e r

rushing wild thunder

your voice washing, sky watching

we tumble and churn the seas in me

"am i too close?"


love like lampposts.

as simple as sleep

poems on shower glass

new skin.

dewy dust finding a wash in my temples

w a s h.

a deep, a well, a knowing

is what makes the desert beautiful.


the stars will fall from the sky.

so maranatha to this marriage.

arteries and tendons like cello strings.
