  • do not think about this

    do not think about this

    footprints

    do not think about this
    it is not here for your pleasure
    not waiting self-less
    for some deathly embrace
    as if it were not already perfect
    and rising starkly, gently behind you
    perusing the pages of your eyes
    passing no judgment

    straighten your back
    and fly into the sunset
    as you were meant to –
    objectless, void, unsundered
    by the sheer presence of its wings
    will you be lifted
    footprints trailing clouds
    into what has always known you

    pulling the threads of your heart
    it makes your fists close hard
    about what you can never grasp
    the light to your shadow
    a silence around your music
    forgeless and forging
    you become its thoughts
    it is no it
    I AM

  • the world, seeking

    shadows fall on shadows, aghast at their own darkness
    times keep falling out of place, surprising themselves,
    trailing numberless atrocities like the dust of a comet
    sweeping ominously across a shrouded, weeping planet

    the forces are arrayed, the engines started
    words have been spoken, in earnest, in fear, in foreboding
    the percolating matrix of desire is abroad
    spewing the churned filth of age upon age

    grasping through coated vision, sickly sweet with unknown blood
    mine? or is that just the fading of words in the rain
    a forgotten calligraphy of music and coincidence
    swept into the tragic dust of memory

    we are all the friends of death
    we have slipped our milky white hands in his
    threaded our fingers into the dying bones of the future
    and now hold on for dear life

    know then benevolence, you royal heir, the polarity of spirit
    awakening with the sound of inversion upon inversion
    every coming forth speaking through white knuckles
    shaking your being, lighting it on fire

    death isn’t waiting for you
    you are the one who shall transform
    you are the one to phosphoresce in embrace
    while all the world casts off from your shore

    unshackle your breath
    unmoor yourself from the known
    take wing, rise up,
    you are the gift
