He soothes her like the rumble of a plane bulkhead, passengerless. Like snow drifting on the night of a snow moon. She doesn't know what else she could tell you about it.

But if you look down there are sleepy, glowing farmhouses.

Cellar floods. Floods with mead. Her veins do. Her veins flood mead. Lambent. As a warm-stoned room. Castled in it. Castling. Layering. She's a bearskin. Castled a bearskin rug. Held. Midroar held in the roar. Five seconds five hundred years. Five seconds five hundred. Liquid.

You are pale but unqualified.You will never be a ghost or spectre. You can pretend to haunt forests, glide through fog as if you can disappear but you will always shine too brightly. You will never scare. Things will approach cautiously but will never be afraid.

#Ghost is the shape of wanting after a body. You can touch yourself to feel the outline, the shape desire carves. You are the empty space another's need has made. If you open, the wanting wants in, flooding you with shapelessness. A ghost has no shape but has yours, traced.

#Pain

maybe it's a kind of covenant

we need this signal
that something's wrong

and our practice is
to gently notice
to listen

and to thank it

#Pain insists on skin insisting nerve. And sovereignty to be known self where you begin. I cats cradle nerves into prayer into lexicon. In truth, you can be a disciple of anything. Pain. Here. Now. A kind of love lettering. Unfurl your hands. Pleasuretwin, let me give you this.

She soothes him by blow-drying his balls on the cool setting after a hot shower. She passes him a box of shiny red alarm clocks to throw at the neighbours. One by one. They explode like apples. He reminds her of bottle rockets. She accompanies him proudly, on a slide whistle.

The snow falls sideways, but gentle, like a giant throwing rice at the wedding of a friend they once dreamed of marrying. It's one of those days where I want to press my face to everything. I'm happy in a way that makes me sad, the #thrum in my temple so low it could almost be a love song.

He awoke standing with an unfamiliar kid in his arms. It began to squirm, and his body took over, #soothing the child, speaking in a familiar voice. He had been sleepwalking for so long, he was now just a passenger in his own body. He wondered what was keeping him tethered.

the thrum
of the train
its rhythmic pulse
rippling the sea
between us

rolling
low lying clouds
and velvet sky
a sensual backdrop

and you
wind-kissed
shadows flowering
upon your skin

intoxicated

swaying in the sweet night

in the thrall
of this endless
soft and dark

#thrum is hum, a sore garlic thumb. A red bird in a grizzling. Ghost. Yes it is not quite, but also. Buttering mustering yellow. Hyacinth carbonic kartoffeln, yes/no. The sun it is feathering. Rain to the feel miriam-miriam

He wants clarity like conquest like clean striped socks. She brings him obsfuscations. Yeasted doughs, peperomias in macramé, meringues of knotted cat hair. She lays them at his feet like microwaved mice. Well no one told her you shouldn't! Poor things.

The #quiver logic. She's a softshelled crab with it, hullscuttled with whatsheshouldn'tknow. He's full-snout and brooding; even the porch light is frowning. She steadies.
The word both.
Cupped.
Like an egg.

on borrowed time
we held the #waning fire
of summer in our hands

painted daisies
and beads of honeysuckle
falling like diamonds

your mood darkening
with the turn
of the leaves

the sweet sorrow
of an angel
fingering the notes
of the chill air

snow drops hidden
in the bone white
of winter

The shatter is sublime.
thindrawn, all
cutting moth pheromones,
quenched in threshwound
(the lamb, having been—)
falls, slicing,
between casements,
burning in white lead

and the soft trace of dust,
raving, leadclothed,
tumbles garnet,
consumptive,
through slick-feathered throats
Don't mistake waning
for weakness. She's not
disappearing.
She's concentrating. Distilling
herself to pure
appetite. The Irreducible.
Fangs in the heart of want. Incisors that remain when all that is soft burns away.

Faultless, inside. Fatted.
Pink lambneck of a threshing world.
