Snow Clock
...Under streetlights
In the silence of snow
I am back when my breath was last this loud
Electric
You tug at my t shirt with your left hand and your nails graze my skin
Our pupils dilate, dist...

An Ember's Light Amid the Frost
...Forget those words, cold, distant calls
Penned to lead you o’er the falls
Toward blank white emptiness below
Hush now, your gurgled snarl
vile drool of fettered rage
Your words have not yet co...

Self-Existent Light
...Self-Existent Light
Beyond the sight of imagination,
Invisible of alpha and omega,
Unseen your non-existent borning daystar
Glory and splendor collide,
Pure sinew of sublimity

Across Realms
...Across Realms
Across vast realms
Where clouds collide
Like scarred chariots
In rush hour traffic
Storms boil over
Fed by fiery wombs of dawn’s inferno
With flames of sunrise fire,
As thr...

Across Realms
...The years had crossed the realms
Of reason’s need
Worn away its edgeless boundaries
Bent the trees against the winds
of current trends.
Old shadows of the giants
Hide now in cloudless caves

Inklings
...They are the “inklings”
Of a thought
Taking form
Faint etchings
Slowly scrawled
Scratched out
Born again
In halting hope.
A matrix of dots
Roaming an arid plain
Searching
For shape, form...

Dazzle
...Thunder drops a huge boulder of sound.
CRASH.

Bruising Words
...Words too often have rough edges,
bloody histories,
lines more defined
than relentlessly imaged cliffs,
worshipping sacred sunlight shades
of high hazards
Coveted risks

Uncrumple them ‘midst fading sense of truth
Sharpen dull edgeless rusting swords.

Muttered by those gr...

Still! Perfect stillness
A verbless hermit

I Watched You Eat Your Cotton Candy
...I watched you slowly disappear
pacing restlessly back and forth
warbling off-key through the
woozy blackness of a day
I watched you glide upwards
through the slender keyholes
quivering and su...

The Size of a Moan
...aah…
you say
a tensed note
almost unheard
but in that one moan
time comes to a standstill
for rapture forgets the past
needs no future to give it hope
it simply is, expands, fills, abducts

Red
...from afar, leaves like uncounted catatonic fires
huddled close
pinned to the chill air
a pointillist’s love affair with a hundred shades of red
the ground is a fresh wound, edgeless
