crows lift from the black plum tree
pale thoughts of blossom

it's rings the very symbol of perfection
For did not Saturn reign
in a Golden Age of abundance
wealth and peace?
But that same Saturn did eat his offspring as they were born lest they usurp that fatal throne as he himself had done
Who cries for those babes?

...and it hasn't even begun
to settle in where I'm sure
mountains were lined
along the shore: the monotony
of calling every wave
a battle, every grain of sand
a world waiting to be counted
and thrown to the swell,
crashing universes pushed
aside one sunken footprint
after another

mountains were lined
along the shore: the monotony
of calling every wave
a battle, every grain of sand
a world waiting to be counted
and thrown to the swell,
crashing universes pushed

after another
from a distance
silent as a wish
waiting
in the belly of the well
from a distance
silent as a wish
waiting
in the belly of the well
like the amorphous strands
of coffee steam
A glorious nourishing calm
To be perfectly at ease
with one another
is not too brook no conflict
but to allow time do some of
the heavy lifting in working
through to a space where your
latest fight seems ludicrous
to you both

Somewhere between head
And the clumsy sausage hand
Magic always dies

their hatred of junk mail
formalized in writing put out
their meagre gardens
for the birds and the bees
and two weathered cats
who keep each other at a
respectful distance

I don’t need to make sense of it.
All I want is to lie in our poetry,
breathing its wild mystery that loosens my footing,
then teaches me to stand.
Stay with me in our special place,
with honey on the air and Oshun’s necklace warm between us.

In the dark behind the ribs
All heat and no light
The hands become a question
That only the skin can answer
A fevered reach
That mistakes the hunger
For the feast

in bed but I have no regrets
O but give me dreams, sleep goddess!
From flying over the paddies of my youth and dining with friends in a labyrinth with beautiful music yet somehow all making sense
Even the Phoenix whose golden-scaled embers glow long after I'm awake

one of my memories
as his and we argue
until we both become
confused by the malleable
past, and have to text Mum
for the answer
