I fell down
like ground could remain soft
and the soil wouldn’t keep
me long
Tag: rebirth (Page 1 of 2)
I died
over seed
in topsoil
rendering tree
“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.
the earth lay fresh
i stepped into it
let it strip me down,
clay incensed
Naked globe
steps wet
air cold skin
warmed from the inside
The smoke forgot my name
the tall light
remembered me
before I did
Delighted-heart
lifted
from cobwebs
and settled dust,
creaked open
new magic rose
Burn stripes
mark new paths
through me
Breath catches flame
Disheveled alive
heat in my hands
holding stars
Judgment burns down my insides
Layers part, break light
secret opens the door
I love fire’s way
Goodbye, she kissed
Hello, strange love
where haven’t you been
Gravity came for me
fear tipping my skin cold
my mind on fire
my name peeled away
love charred to ash
sense made nothing anymore
I did not find any rope
on the way down
If I had
the knot would have slipped
my fingers would have missed
I learned how to disappear
before I ever learned how to rise
