The Scattered
against my skin, brush
a rasping winter’s silence
shapes of bitter cold
torrent in darkness
bestowing emptiness born
the haunting eye hunt
the sharp scorn of day
like a fish kisses new air
touches the surface
opening the sky
awake sweet the sun and rage
her heart, in flower
within the grass, wild
beyond the trees, as god
inventor of light
sews dew into dawn
abolishing solitude
and all that is gone
beautiful chain of fire
the scar between moons
cuts invisible
the space between death
our fingers, stars and matter
where droplets of water
around us
scatter…
