For once I didn’t kiss the ring Or add a tribute to the pile I gave fire and cordite When I spoke my true name On this day, at long lastI wore my loudest colors Standing tall on my turf Planted firm in its soilThe faint pulses of regret Fighting under my skin Will slowly…

Cloaked in a layer of frost They can hardly talk Only glare through each other, When their ragged roads cross Far apart on safe ground Memories are a shroud Fallen over them HonestFreeing screams to resound The twin thieves Twin liars Guard their evils in armor,Both fearful and vainUntil their day on the pyre Few…

Tangled in the spiraling reeds Of a trusted name A strange seed takes root And outgrows its cage Within the shade of affection, Dressed in shades of spring He charges up defiant And glistening bright “Keep low” “Keep hidden” Rustles through his home When he dreams too loud Too fragrant, too sweet Will “keep low”…

The allure of disappearing, Turns and turns through the day When all the blame has been spent Wrung dry and lifeless – A lightning rod burns bright In a bitter-hearted stare, Glowing hot in the eye Of a southern-born storm – Vanishing is a luxury I cannot afford, At this time While new light…

“Only for a moment” Loops day after day In the back of the mind When the flood waters rise And wrap around my throat – It’s a soothing balm For a weary plain Of thistle and thorn Where stray winds catch fire – “This too shall pass” Only strengthens its bind Around my dulled,…

Frozen, Before a universe of roads Weaving every direction, Holding tight to a lie Its bitter light gently fades – A steady thunder is rising Stealing air from my lungs As the galaxy expands And I sink into worry – My frozen form is a liar, Within havoc resides As a miserable ghost A…
