a burning sunset of mayhemic fangs
its rictus, iron maw sears; mocking me
disabusing my fear
with ember remembrances
in a sermon of lashing tongues
it crackles accusations
from long-wronged voices
and i'm deafened by its taunts
submitting to its fiery recompense

her hand, it trembles so
—why does mummy cry

Her #blood is singing.
She senses me, the fire inside causing the vein in her neck to throb. It's not that I'm hungry, but the hum underneath her skin is maddening. I cross the room unseen, hidden between the soft beats of time. I am the deep shadows behind the curtain. We disappear.
outside being bound
flesh, blood & bones
a shimmer skin poem
a malleable universe
of infinite switches
tingle limb-ing whims, witches
we recite death
as a finality
because in a version of life
we are mad scramblers
the nautilus curled long lines
of hungry mouths

reached to a blushing sky
offering condolences
for the #wound of man
what had become
of her earthly charge
tears fell wistfully
while she remembered
songs from a joyous #nest
instead of death knells
wrought by the cuckoos
who infected it

disappear
like a ghost
as she folds
and folds
further into
herself
seeking escape,
terrified
mortified
of the vast
deep dark
oceans of
the lonely life
before her

to pick locks on long trains
no whistle stops in a wilderness of politics
your ghost follows
soul observed to bones as a hunger
of honed habitation and spirit wear
marks left behind where
when and what may or may not be
those why(s) we still worship things #vss365

by the ghosts of you
wondering which version
of happy you'll wear today
#terrified to be unmasked...
but sorrow is like a fleet in being
the everpresent threat & torment
& when you stop trying
to fool the world w/ a smile
you realise they've all been fooling you

mania, a 9-volt on the tongue
you get used to the flavours
soon the craving takes over
- it's dry like sawdust -
and the desperate hunger
clawing at your arm
itching at your temple
once #rejected by intellect
becomes metastatic
much akin to so-called love
#vss365 #emoetry
so obsessed with the puddles
that you miss the rain
