Gashes Poems

Autumn

...Autumn

….. is mortally wounded!
It stumbles, tumbles 
across the silken, rouged sky
quivering over rusted hedges
shivering through shouldered trees,
splattering, smattering 
everything in bl...

I Found the Courage to Speak

...No torrid steel rod cauterized my wounds
for I couldn't lick the festering gashes clean.
Your sharp-bladed tongue bit too deep,
fangs plunged with each vile cursed scene.

No mere prick or scrat...

The Clouds of Mount Everest - may you ever rest

...Flapping without flying.
It feels okay.
Your scales of fur corrode.
A foul, but sweet, but warm, but damp...
Scent of something new.

You're red and blue tomorrow,
Yellow, pink, today.
But fo...

Incarnate

...Bloodlet me, my precious
You can make this my willing sacrifice
To cure me of impurity, of sickness.
Cut gashes into my face.
Discard chunks of my body.
These cliffs into my mind,
Scars of unhe...

Emotional Shrapnel

...Lurid looks have been thrown at me
Deadly daggers sent to pierce my heart
Why do some insist on acting beastly 
waging war in attempts to tear me apart?
How long can I go on pretending I'm not in...

The Now Continuum

...The sky bathes the harbor in cyan turquoise
cadet-blue sea foam bubbles the only gorget one has
versus the flamingos and canaries absconding littoral mire
the gashes on my feet, the burn in my <>

Worth The Fight

...My battle to keep you is over.
A checkmate, without any closure.
My skin is bruised and beaten
and battered and scarred and weakened.

I can't shake the guilt
or the images of the life we built...

8 months free

...8 months down the drain
Blood congeals then clots but has no time to scar
I bleed myself empty, my vessel full of progress, full of hours and days and weeks and months
lies slashed and broken on t...

No Wake Zone

...

   The silent woman watches,
   Shifting in the cold.
   Holding coffee in hand,
   Watching over the land.

   Swiftly through the falling leaves,
   Laying in the water.
   Boats carving...

A sacred place

...On those dark, winter evenings, when the frost tinged wind burns your skin with each weak sputtering breath, I find myself longing for a crisp walk along the shore. 
Sand, not yet touched on this ne...

The Gauntlet

...Step where I have stepped,
tread where I have trod,
weep what I have wept
and crawl where I have clawed.

Then, and only then,
may you judge what I've selected -
only then have you earned my y...

My cat marks her territory

...Some cats mark their territory with claw marks
Shredding your couch, putting gashes in your vinyl seats.
Other cats leave strong urine in their zone,
a warning to others to “keep out!”
My own cat...

Coagulation

Coagulation

Finally, my blood began to coagulate,
Flowing like insomnia
Between the wounds of dawn and dusk

In your temple, you rewrite me with glass letters, infinitely breaking me

...In your temple, you rewrite me with glass letters, infinitely breaking me,
And I pronounce the mantra of forgiveness, like a saint in the agony of purifying ecstasy.
Her voice vibrated, a flame in ...

You Can Feel Them On The Wind

...


        Umbilical umbrellica of umbral phantanes
"Anjelsmoth Banjitreel Naievae"
These are the spasmodic words you cause in me, 
dare to ascertain in my exotic condition 
of your cusping co...
