sea-shaped envelope -
I put myself away
For Beloved's Sake
/solitary
in many fields
I hold the hem
of wild knowing
folding corner
to corner
for Beloved's sake
How Beautiful
/resting
at the confluence
of love and nothingness -
how beautiful
the space
in you
Deicing
/tossing pebbles
across honeycomb ice -
I am
no thing
and it begins
to sink in
Moonlighting
/a little moonlight
on the pew -
I sit long enough
to know the destiny
of blue
More Than a Graze
/serrated stride -
winter cutting
all the wrong places
blood pooling
cooling
hands tied
knees cracked
--
yet whispers of dawn
keeping course
feathers
beneath trees
tracks
going somewhere
love on the run
--
how the season
plays out in currents
moving water
ice / veins / snow / mud /earth
and finally gone
--
fertile soil
left to give
love
A Melt
/the season
drips and pools
over sleeping meadows
and I make peace
with nothing
Homecoming
/inescapable cold -
passive lips
homeless nights
forgive me
not
Wolf Moon 1.23.16
/he looks at me
like I look at the moon -
alone at the window
