The Last Five Senses '1

and the air was a still lake
that would no longer ripple for me.
My breath was a whisper,
a moth beating tired wings
against the glass of existence.

Wet Stars

...Rain whispered its breath into the streets,
lamplight pooling in shallow gold.

From far off—the quick, sharp beat of her heels,
a rhythm like promises breaking.
Or maybe like promises keeping.

Nameless Blood

...Blood drips on the ground beneath my feet
But not from my eyes you gouged out 
Or from the tongue you cut off 
Nor my eyes you left to listen 
And not my insides where it crawls.

Unkown makes ...

In Stars Above

...
A dress, tangerine fading into sunflower.
We stand together,
rooftop of a white concrete building.
Higher than clouds, further than moon—
she looks down, my eyes follow.
Our gazes collide when...

Clouds flaunt the day’s sunrise and sunset 
flooding the sky with a vast sea of flaming passion
As a dramatic array of sun’s long vibrant dress

To a future Lover

...I am watching 3 inches off of the floor,
The man outside waits at my door
I know the screams from within the box 
Howl and call upon your order upon the rocks
But I know you can hold your tongue ...

its breath pooling in alleyways
where no one walks anymore.

Cold, wet cobblestones gleam
like the backs of forgotten coins,
each one holding a secret...

Light Box

...Cold, warm, horrifying, inviting 

Grinding away at the last pink and grey pustules  

pooling at the bottom of my 

Skull 

Gods own light pushes and claws helplessly 

against thin nylon ...

I Met You

...I

the first time

The first time you called,
Though I've been told you phone in often.

Within Without

...Day and night
Over my years
I watch
This full owl body carved from the light
Of wood
With its slimly painted feathers and howling eyes 

Held in swooping flight
At an angle
On a string

grind together in mortar’s mouth,
spilling, pulverizing, volatile perfumes—
succumbing scents of citrus, crushed copper,
musks of bruised lightning,
threshing thunderou...
