A Cup of Words
From mouth to ear across a lifetime lived,
traveling strings tying lives together thread on thread.

our broken bags of trailing flesh.
We will hold each...

Lignified Soul
You found me nearly hollowed out.
A bag of bones upon the ground
My soul retreats into my pith

Can You Hold Onto a Peach
In the winter of my years, stands my barren tree
Its leaves stripped by autumnal winds
Against hope, it had one life left to give
I blew a warm breath into a lone branch
Hoping against hope, I stood...

Inferno
INFERNO
As I watched from far away,
Under the sun sending down its rays,
Not willing to stare any longer,
And about to find my way out,
I noticed the earth trembling,
Followed by a cacophony,
Temperature rose in a flash,
Behold...

The Path Back Home
Final stage of dementia, imminent oblivion,
Mind slowly dying, waning to black obsidian,
A trail of breadcrumbs, left behind in my wake,
Beacons across time, for the trek I now face,
Paving the way, for my journey, back home....

The Gas Station Paradox
A woman at the gas station
is unremarkable besides
her name tag reading Clarity
and her teeth, saying never mind.
She asks if I need a receipt.
I say no, like I'm not collecting
evidence in the glovebox...

There Are No Heroes Without the Herd
Each year
I met September
with its calico seals of Samhain
slain in a fair death
and bled by symptoms of naked hours
and loneliness.
I shivered with
a strange dread,
not of predator or prey
but the threat
of being siphoned...

The Voice In My Dreams
Ssss.....
Splendour smooth sound that sounded severally sometime ago,
Smoothly stealthy sensating my soul.
Sound sounding second by second significantly,
saying ''I love you Thabiso'' not even swallowing a single saliva spit.
Sweet semibreve singsong sounding siphoned from sun set...

Starlit Summer Maple
That lonely maple tree on the mighty green hill,
still hides my secret letters and beloved quill,
Oh the jubilant friend I'd found on a summer day,
it embraced me with lush branches on heaps of hay.

Charter that determined
the King does Not

for he may not reign at his own
self-centered whim, nae!

Relinquished to

I Met Novemeber...
I met November;
with its calico seals of Samhain
slain in a fair death
and bled by symptoms of naked hours
and loneliness.
I shivered with

or prey
but the threat
of being siphoned too deeply,
into phone -cord spirals;
into...

a rhythm born in silent hearts I'd know.
Your cherry-dipped voice dwelling upon
my painted canvas on a...

scarlet bed of withering dreams is cold again.
So numb my desires echo in hollowed...
