All my eyes are open
My lurching steps tap the pavement
A vision of beauty
Piercing melancholy
Calling infinity
Sensing sacred

Dark fruit to feed my soul
She gets so hungry

I’m happy for you
Suffering comes in waves
Tides that pulled us together
Waves that pushed us apart

A little break in the storm
Peace in your heart
Sadness too
Bones that ache & whisper
That everything is war

Some are worth fighting
Peace of mind on the battleground

In a perfect daze
Darts all day on the porch
Splayed out on paper, laid up in bed

Crossing the street today
Before I get home, I’m not far away

Where I leave a part-of-me
is still time for memory
To make or to lose again
Tea with honey, a good lunch alone
…

‘Remember me, as you knew me, keep me alive.’

Maybe too much weight for any sentient life to bear. Inevitable as a the wind of a swallow’s wing that fells a tree, home to thousands of generations. …oops.

A bad mood.
Go to bed, & fuck off.
Sweet dreams, I’ll catch you at the next ritual event, we all dread.
☠️🦧💼
I’m happy, are you?
Do we have lying in common, or are souls unshaken. Or mental illness exists. Endless possibilities!
