‘Let’s Sleep Outside’

& if I wail, will you catch my breath?
Cup it; twist the copper top, mason jar,
silent firefly—strobing S.O.S
Can you hear me yet?

& what if I’m not a lonely star?
The night’s a crocheted blanket.
I’m the light—
so don’t stitch the sky

‘Beneath the Flesh’

Rays of emptiness pierce my shell,
shattered mirrors burst in the dust.
Your fingers drip night
cupping them—
crystals burrow deep inside.

The fog is drowning now,
as your mouth splits mine.

Darkness quivers,
we swallow the light.

‘After’

The rain creeps in
soft
an afterthought
weaving silver thru wind

It pools where our steps faded
small mirrors
trembling in gravel

Each drop
a hush
sky’s quiet collapse—
tiny hearts folding
inward

You tilt ur head
& I hear love—
a pulse
against water
stumbling
then finding rhythm

‘Salt Cathedral’

Ur voice breaks—
dawn heliacal a light wound
marring sleep

My bones hum
stars dim in marrow-dark

Ur breath voids me
a frost flute
sings my undoing
thru the orchard of my ribs

I taste ur color— salt, mint, holy

The sky strips raw I ache
for the blade
of ur touch

‘The Breath That Stays’

Light falters— a hush between dusk and dark Always
the same silence honey-thick heavy with knowing

I feel his touch before the air stirs his whisper threading through the sigh on my collarbone

Terror blooms in— a kiss left too long
 & still I call him mine

‘Hunt’

Terror on the wind
pumpkins gather—
backlit eyes
grins flit
left to right

Read the braille
on ur skin
words God left behind—
feeling blind

It’s but a moment—
Lost lambs forget
the shepherd’s face
from time to time

Night howls
owls echo
Who am I?

In the dark
answers hide.

‘Complicit Night’

Painted lady
patterns flutter
I shake the colors

Bone-bleached sky
now white to black
beg for water

Cities shatter below
shadows dawn shapes
sharp as Martian winds

Rusted cheeks
Your hand
my knife
Scars oxidize

Deliverance
under risen moon
It dares not name us
