Blithely, they bleat and swan the blackening brae
weave weighted wings from predictive pores
until fallacy shakes opaque eyes awake—
the inevitable slaughtering storms.

Sweet cadence
escapes rose petal lips
teeming with sigh
desire’s longing
flavors your tongue—
a thousand endless summers
damp in wild dreaming
become quenched in expectation
I would starve on loud hope
if only to feast on whispers
blossoming from your mouth.

Unpacking Peace
Peace is sinking into hues of blue
slow glow luminescence
twilight fireflies amidst cricket song
sweet silencing defenses

The Singeless Moth
You appear as a moth
out of the oven, un-singed
light in your wings
never needing to lean
toward the moon
you are luminescent
a lit candle
heat igniting
my thoughts of you.

Release your cradled cries
let amens halo darkling skies
pearl your thorns into a crown
and sing latent hymns of Never Again.

Lean me over tomorrow's ledge
blaze this sodden night
with your bright tender
love me again
like a metaphor gone mad.
