Just To See It So
Looking like lies
Hanging in the day
Like slow mote dust
Coming down ever slow
Cauled and reticent
Like soonborn ghosts
Incantate singing
A song specific
Said just to see it so
In my own mind
It unfolds
Defying daylight
Amongst rigid ruin
From birds to hands
And bending arm
As faithless turn away
You laughed for the distance
Still I will speak
This out and loud
Said just to see it so

The Almost Rising
Flying thy secrets
To wind, up ,rising,
Seaward, comes salty.
To taste that desire
Still, on my lips
How the almost sings so,
How the almost stays
A window for such beauty
Opening and then,
So loudly spoke,
Seeming,
Yet silent, stood
Real things won't bear words
Or paint your heart -
To conjure such flames
That endless burn
Words that set us denying-
Words that printed, proved
Our prayers profaned
Life, sent to death
That drawn - the line
We were born to cross
Let blood burn, embodied
And not stains betray
On printed page.
From this we must
Not turn away
To do it once
Or a thousand times since,
Secret, sated

Thorn
end of filiation
end of fools
the languid curve
of thorn
permanence
the dry barren crown
aged to brown
led to winter
ever toothed
beauty fell
so far below
such prideful color
aghast with oppulence
how you felt beneath
august's swooning bloom
sharp in upturn
you have seen the turn
waiting for the dark days
winter's burn

sun and wind
I still hear the whisper
a day away,
forced into waiting,
I noticed
I no longer fought the sun
or sought the shade,
no longer counted strides
or set my mind afar
then came the wind
softly down from high
with kindness, cool
people passed
unabstract, real,
eyes alive
this is the world
to walking real,
the smallest courtesies
keeping the world whole
what pushes us along
so fast to crash
into darkness
alone?
in our selfsealed heads -
outside, the clouds
are on the move, always,
slowly
too skewed to symbols
to see
the holiness
of small things, passing
the discomfort
of elements
out of our control,
dies
and lets us touch
sun and wind,
recieves us
into the element
still feeling whispers
a long day away,
waiting, noticing
roofless,
under moving skies,
reconciled to the sun

Just In Dreams
now, just in dreams
i had let go
dismissed the ruin
faced the impossibilty
rethought
closed my eyes
a citadel of your curves
in a crystal globe of sleep
the jagged path of fact
in day, turned away
when i stop swimming
tumble into the trench
a continental rift
submerged in black current
a sunken land
made by your hand
now, just in dreams
i drift down
to you

Red Bridge
how i found you
in a spidering oubliette
i didn't read the map
lazily lost
when the hours dropped away
i found
far from everything
the rusty red bridge
spanning the frantic
silent
thick with paint
cooling
under a spiderlegged sun
the names unable to hold
on the devilbright skin
the mayan zigzag
of crooked rooftops
falling away to salt
southward, shimmers
in antiquing kitchens
pale leaves boil
and strange unguents
you barely there
and untouchable
til night

Pockets Full Of Leaves
this day burns red,
like a tidal swallow, spreads
whiskey winds breathing-
shadows, set off running
if I was to touch you,
you would abandon words
and fall
to the liquor of night
in darkness,
everything is mine
even now,
your eyes shine wine
red flames
through amber glass
erasing things
like gods and promises
brittle harbors
for creatures of flame
their compact with night -
when we fall to tinder
hearts full of fire,
pockets full of leaves

Aquaintencing
when we told all terrible things,
showed scars' stories told.
fell apart together,
gave in silence spent,
and there in sleeping saved.
now measure loss
with a plentitude of worthlessness,
this congregation of illnesses.
these toy strangers,
their thoughtless convicting.
their dullest draftings dodge
miles of murdered word-
will not measure depth
or show our shine.

Above
I know you are lost,
movement against the stillness,
home inside the hollow.
spirit eyed, above,
look to the left -
I am
from there
you see the shimmering roads,
the oh so very far,
clearly in scope.
a vision shared
to see.
out of the deviling drink
of tumbling time,
the thousand I's
line up in aspect light.
remembered, released
to tears smiling.
infinity easy
when you become
the love and reunion
of dust and dreaming dark.
never a daunting distance
from I to I.
Such loving arms
to belong to
and the knowing,
such a healing to share.
from a place of forgotten hope
to beauty,
One

Stormcloud Morning
Breathing in your hair
On some stormcloud morning
Taking you in while you slept
Taking time to keep this
For forever
No right to cage and keep
Such wildness
Love and chains aside
I still keep what I could steal
As long shadows slowly came
Darkening the day away

Matchbox
whisper lightly
to keep it safe
keep the light low
let the shadows hold
the doors are hot with fire
windows will shatter glass
ghosts walk the hallway
with relentless weight
there is a secret in this matchbox
bones brushed with sulpher
painted yesterday red
packed too tight
too tight to heal
too hid to steal
just to open it up
will set off the spark
that will eat all the darkness
and tear down the walls
tonight keeps quiet
to hear the long gone walking
secrets spoke lowly
to the ghost of a heart

Falter
Another letter to you
And I falter
The sounds withhold
All this distance
With thoughts
Smoking, pluming
Masking
Those few true things
Devicing
Odd intentions
Not of speaking
But quiet near
And the unclear horns of voice
Those flags of word
Those paper thorns
It hides my needs
Of silence
Of bumping foreheads together
And faltering
In silence
Together

Cloud
I remember your skin as I pulled you in from the rain
From your mouth, hot breath like cloud,
Hair pulled back, it was all your mouth could do
Drank rain from soft curves
Blood pressed as wet hands pull me away
Sank low into you, under you, our tongues spoke truth for once
In knowing, left nothing for show, for pose, just clouding breath
Out of minds, out of clothes

Aspect Star
I used to call to them
They always sent tears
Can't change or keep -
Thier love, a path crossing
Once, I named them
Now I let them go
Firey battles rage outside
Gathering up the dark harvest
Once, I dressed them
In robes and liquid gold
Now naked with night
Their truth, scarring embers
A salve for special pain
Some salt to night
A river and star
Across her cheek
I follow her fingers down
And notice what remains
When signs and shields fall off, away
Breathe out fears, so shyly staged
Dismiss the spiney sun
Keep her dark and ruby low
A gift of blindness for tomorrow
Can free her from her frame
Amongst her kin she is changeling
Moving behind masks and mirrors
