Sky & Moon Speak

Something serious brews in the way of change in the sky of today..
A feeling emanates inside of me,
but I do not know what it is
what it’s saying or
where it’s pulling me.
But something deep is roaring to life inside of me.
It is a mix of Gabriel’s trumpet,
Thor’s Lightning,
It is a soft spot struck that would send the leviathan fleeing.

Something serious sets upon the moon this evening.
Today’s nicks, scratches, thrashes, and gashes
bathe in the silvery stead of the moonlight..
I do not know
how any of this day’s chaos will
be of any use today
or any other day, but a
sneaking suspicion
quickly sinks in,
that it will.

The suffered slings and
arrows of today
are kissed by the
moon and come
back tomorrow in different form.
Some went away.
some smoothed over,
others sag or brood. 

Returned from the world of dreams
Day breaks over my freshly altered figure.
I am mostly intact though
through the night
The rivers Styx and Lethe
Careen into me. 

Light of day reigns forth beaming
off my skin entices me to start the day.
After a trip up and down through my
Underworld, I make the surest choice
And so it goes, and so it goes.

It Was Never Just Falling Out of Love

It Was Never Just Falling Out of Love You say you fell out of love— like the glass had cracked, spilling out the meaning of dreams, the sting of shared growing pains, hopes of home, the gilded laughter curled around our cats, our joy stretched across oceans and train rides. Like love just… poured from that once-hallowed glass, and now the nectar pools, forgotten, drying where no one kneels to gather it. But we were almost a decade in. You don’t lose that kind of time without feeling the unseen quakes— jarring bones, jarring memories. After you slept in someone else’s arms, my body forgot how to seek yours, and yours forgot how to reach. We slept on different floors, in different worlds, each night drifting out to sea, no one left steering us home. And I felt it— the shift, that slow retreat dressed in quiet like it was mercy. The new rhythms we rehearsed in silence: rising alone, still wondering if you'd notice the empty side of the b...

Upon a Quiet Night

    Upon A Quiet Night It’s surreal, this walking upon the earth—jockeying and wrestling with yourself to stake deliberateness, to claim intention, to become something you yearned for, something that once bore fire in your heart. From quiet self-revolution in spaces outgrown, to traversing avenues physical and liminal previously unknown. It is eerie to sit down upon a quiet night and host the ghosts of traveling souls here no more. To hold the voices and personalities of those once loved and tenderly cared for, now revolving in space somewhere else—off in a distant place without a trace, or crossed over to the world beyond. The residue of loves discovered, or connections tempered, never quite fades. Upon a quiet night, if still enough, the atoms in space hoist their charge—their beauty bursts in magnificent ways. The myriad versions of self that became present and possessed your body become strange—variably close in memory. Some farther, some closer. Some buried, some ha...

Lightning Tatters, Mirrors Shatter

 It’s comical the slowness with which a face changes. I caught glimpse of myself a couple months ago.   Pale, brooding, spiraling—   I spent more time in the sun than was optimal.   It’s comical, those subtle changes.   A lifetime ago, the mirror would smile—   warm, happy, the feeling   reverberating from glass to lips.   It’s comical,   this mirror holds all,   this mirror holds nothing.   I strike me, the mirror.   It’s comical how it sees—   now more complete.   Cracks crinkle, cracks crinkle into different cracks.   The opulent hue of bliss   that lights a smile—   the deep cold tremor   that lurks below a long look.   The rich vein of love ran dry,   idles in still eyes.   My face, at once a still meadow,   weathers the emotive seasons.   Ebb and flow ...
