The Wrong Train

...London fog, harshly early with strained warning,
Looms all over the image of the hectic city
There’s the smell of mists and the taste of

Defiled by being stuffed into a sac so tight,
A confinement that suffocates, a desperate plight.
Zipped to the end by thy very  blood's own right,
A violent release, a nightmare of a cathartic...

After many years, it is still not done
I know what happens, but nevertheless

I cry
everything vague as salty dew creep down my cheeks
mascara run down your dejected face

...Tree boughs scope me by window glass,
As the long night without stars pass
The moon out like dead rock— the last
Time dark mornings will be so vast.

Around my boughs, raining's ghost wane,

...Through my chest, Winter slips
Her chill as a coat of arms;
Honed breathlessness—

Slow Wings

...Within my true macadam
tethered reins roll—
A ragged seam play
On cords unmade.

This bag of feathers
My pins, rehashed
held the dreaminess
In its youth's mask.

Pinions dark within
