me and the star
were felled
night found my hollow
before love ever shone a light there
Tag: darkness (Page 1 of 2)
my bat-winged
flutterings
looked chaotic
until the hum
that guides me
could be heard
I discovered myself
in darkness
the depths of which
could not be real
and that is what evoked terror in me
that I could enter those shadows at all.
the blackest wings
held me
cradled in feather ink
crow’s
and I felt the decay
with teeth
saliva crust and blood
looking after me
as no human ever had
Ink spider
drops
spreading
new eyes
I see in the dark.
bats flew from
my tear ducts
a look withers,
branch-fallen
“Some things don’t ever have to be let go of.”
He blew the whole damn candelabra out.
No merciful bit left lit to quiet my hunger.
I looked for starlight,
an addict,
cold sweat,
please, just one more hit
and I’ll be better.
Seasons
wore out my lusting.
And the sun drew me into her belly kicking and screaming.
By that time, the dark knew my bones,
and it hurt to be penetrated by love.
my legs became owl
and wings like scissors
scored the night
with tiny tears
eyes that mirror
we night mingle
blur
danger flicker
eyes
growl
instincts forgetting nothing
