Kneels Poems

Potted Sins Under Tweed

...In potted hills Finnish
Cauldrons run quips losing custard!
Vanquished serpents necking
Lounging cretons lavish
Tasking tisks
Mirroled bounce
Hinde bounding exiles
Worrisome kneels condensing ...

A Draconian State

...Orders descend like sharpened hail
each shard cutting language to ribbons.
We learn to swallow pain quietly,
to bow our eyes before the flag of silence.

And awaken me with a divine and pristine light.

...There are things the soul asks
that the mouth cannot carry,
not because they hurt,

with love that would set the stars to flame,

Graphite Steps

...
My soles press soft 
into sidewalks. I leave
a trail of graphite steps

They etch out my first sentence—
a diary in crayon, a novel in margins
Time sharpens the graphite steps

Glassfoot

...Glass-foot by Gabrielle Munslow  


She kneels on glass.
Two jagged rocks, hidden—clenched behind her back.
Secrets.
Her mouth open,
not in benediction
but for unholy things.

...I sit on a throne of unfinished things,
wearing a crown of missed chances,
a robe of echoes and brittle stances,
stitched with the pull of quiet strings.

The Asiatic Lion Sleeps No More

...Beware the lion that walks in silence.
He roars not in markets, nor chants in parades—
He sharpens his claws beneath the rubble,
And his vengeance waits in plain sight.

The Man Who Held His World In His Hands

Or at least long enough
Maybe devotion is definite
Or will at least last a lifetime
Maybe you can have everything in the palm of your hand

It smiles with fire, and devours to the end.
It begins with banners, chants, and threats,

Unsaid Prayers

...She rose at dawn
and laid the mat,
not from longing,
but from old habit.

She bowed, then sat,

but the heart lagged—
a breath behind.

Whispers once lush

An Elegy for the Dawn's Betrayal

...## 1.
A morning cloaked in guile arrives,
It breathes upon my land, no light,
This realm now bound in frost's cold curse,
Where hearts are held in icy night.

each vowel he is tossing in the air;
And poetry's the altar where he kneels
to thank the Almighty in a fervent prayer.
