she knits invisible garments,
believes a “u” is a smile,
unaware of her own wake
Yet have never
watched the moonlight.
How many times
did it traverse my skies.
While you.
Sit ever patient
as nights shadows
are cast.
Existing only on the periphery.
Others bask within
her glow.
And unbeknownst I
sleep
As you
Wait eternal living only within my #dreams

Fear not, soft one, though mountains quake,
My hand enfolds you as the shore holds sand;
What autumn dreams in gold, the spring will wake,
My righteous strength becomes your trembling hand.
As roots drink deep from unseen, faithful land,
So I uphold: Be still, you will withstand.

truly listen
is no small thing
it's to be crushed
almost erased
by the weight
of everything
implied

I wouldn't be dying soon.
The worlds it gives me
to live in
are gone when I wake.
How can I get back to them?
My mind is an ocean when I dream -
but awake it's been drugged into chilling oblivion.

The year ends
With frost-ferns
On the window panes
And the gold
Of fallen leaves
Picked out in silver.
Ice stretches
Along the canal,
Unfrozen patches
Are busy with ducks.
The mud is hard
And holds my weight.

each cosmos begins
with a wink
she yawns silvery
stretching time
into thinking space
or a word
Starcat says
found inside a moment's peace
these beloved sparks
to imagine better worlds

and what you wish
you are already
time lost,
denial tossed,
eternity sold,
a story retold,
fragile,
weary.
we cross this winding flight,
eyes on a query,
a distant star,
a glimpse of fate,
a spectral dream
of light

I can play any role
you think
you want me
to play.
But
I’ve never
known a man
who’s truly happy
with what he wanted...
I can show you
what you didn’t know
you would die for.

dust covers the
mess of becoming
we tear down the ceiling
just to see how much
