"Good and evil match perfect, it's a great romance"
Elliott Smith
my master left me talents
and went to town
i squandered them
on charm and colour
when he comes home,
he will find mauled mirrors
and mascara melted
into the pillows

three cards remain
silence, sadness, solitude
i play against
an impassive dealer
a bluff already lost
symbols vanish
face cards quiver
lucky in love
they say
but you don’t play
or is it
the other way
so i wait
half believing
still at the table
shuffle slow and heaving

Suspicion stirs,
orchids, alien blooms,
mirrored faces.
Feeding from air,
intoxicating scent,
painted lips exhaling
humidity,
earth,
death.

Scattered stars promise,
toward night the sky will open,
but not the heart.
You carried clouds inside,
and every night
is moonless.

Visible in tiny plumes
Of breath in the frost.

prints crunching nearing clearing
beside a steady stream
Snow floated from dense clouds
falling as feathers in Hollywood clumps
dissolving into translucency
She treated them as wishes
as thoughts to part with in her sleep
then drifted into hibernation

that house
where fear lives—
its walls constrict
like lungs closing in
the air, beating fast
as anxious heart
a door, worried shut
like a twist in my gut
& those drapes
pulled tight
make me jittery
inside
the thing I fear more
than fear itself
is that house
where it dwells
Picture an emotion as though it were a person. Now write me a poem about the house that emotion lives in. What is it like? Where is it?

The sky is an opal,
tender with colours,
a tide of petals within.
Birds linger
beyond the sunset,
distant hills blush.
Tonight,
the bond of cold and dark
is broken.

Rite in Ruin
I gather ashes
from the bonfire,
dust of what burned,
to write your name
on damp skin at night.
Each letter glows,
a secret in smoke,
a charm that quivers,
then slips to shadow,
shattering slowly,
flake by flake.

under the leg of a bench
rigid with cold, with iron,
an unexpected daisy
to play life with
to believe is naive,
to refuse is cynic,
either way
a wasted flower,
another rainy day
