There is something
down in my heart
beyond the blood
and guts and bite marks
and it ain't a valentine.

What have you done, my love
tampered with our time
turned perfect grace
to the grotesque
a bruised and bloody kiss

why withhold the words
we need to heal
while hateful tropes

In the deepest night
our terrors flare and we pray
for morning to come
as though despair
will disintegrate
naively believing dangers
fear the light.

sent to addresses unknown
dead lovers (I hope)
who once broke my heart.

I captured on a starry night

drifting over treetops
made of wild green mint
able as in a dream to deny
the force of gravity
our love is light.

but I know it involves a knife
an ability to be precise

nothing but white
the sun finally dissolves
a vision of a red roof
dazzling as a flying cardinal.

I laugh at my foibles
the world filled with such folly
that a mere incredulous shake

of silvery gray
and the relief is palpable
to be unseen
