Like witches encircling.
Closing loops seal in the sadness.
Don’t you think that you are?
Inseparable from suffering.
If you know thyself, throw thyself. Break the curse within your bones.

I search for hidden shelters
A place to stop the bleeding
Capillary sanctuaries
When I find a fleeting moment
Of rest, I long to keep and own it
I could make this hut my home
Until my flesh falls from the bone

Stopped to rest, I start 2 think. The setting sun is gold & pink. The weight I carry guides me down until my back’s on solid ground
No way with words, can’t win the crowds. An empty loaded loser’s vows. My mind’s been dull & numb 4 years. Said with such expressive elegance, changes nothing

All my eyes are open
My lurching steps tap the pavement
A vision of beauty
Piercing melancholy
Calling infinity
Sensing sacred
Dark fruit to feed my soul
She gets so hungry

Seasonal highs that reach for the sky
Shade from the sun
That eats up the world
A present to me
& past to the future
Thorns under blossoms
Guarding their treasure
Watching them die
Spurs in the snow banks
With seasonal cries
In mourning they lie
By morning they’re dry

There’s so much that can’t be said. That won’t be heard, or seen, or read.
It’s nothing that would do us good. If I told to you exact, a hardly interesting fact.
Shattered pieces wrapped in napkin fill my heart. It’s awfully hollow in here without it. An act that can’t be followed.
