Parasocial Relationship: What Remains Is the Latch

I’ve kept the bone-ash circle open—
chalked in wax traced from your last reply,
the one you coughed out sideways
between a mirror and an echo,
Just to reiterate, it read. 
(Though you’ve unsent it now—
the smoke still mouths it back.)

The salt forgets which door to guard,
whether you're enemy or friend.
My tea leaves knot themselves
into nooses. The knife won’t

Blood Moon

There is a moon stuck inside the stoplight
A still unblinking gaze controlling blood tides
Circulatory system like New York City in the seventies
The thrashing of my tire fire heart led
To the tribute of an overzealous blood tithe

With the buzzing of the latch relay circuit
Night and day, the cosmic light switch clicks
Itself into place, there is no

Door Without a Latch

It's no true door without a latch,
After closure,still easy catch:
Robber to one's helpless things snatch;
A firm structure turns a bad thatch
And up with things one starts to patch!

    a shield from solitude

He savours the egg salad his mother has left for him
     comfort food

Handcuffs Latch

handcuffs latch 
locked tight 
key was lost 
in time 
never able 
to be found 
again 
lost forever 
within the 
sands of 
the hourglass
of the hidden 
past self that 
has ran away 
never to break 
free from the 
glass prison 
of the hourglass 
of the subconscious mind

The Latch-Key Kid

I am the Latch-Key Kid
When I go home, no tea on the table
I manage to make myself something to eat
The best that I am able

Mum and Dad at work till past eleven
So I just sit and watch TV
When they come home they go to bed
They have no time for me

At eight-thirty in the morning
My dad

We Are Latch Unto the Sky

the soul
chanting again but
we are 
latched unto the sky
before we die
