coaxing you back, you’ve been in touch and other senses, the full thing cackling at boxed remedies with disowned roots and perfume some of your ways I saw pushing up daisies, but you knew with eight legs of womb, the odd collecting caw with peals of blue and pink emerald encased there would be roads excavated the lace of cobwebs holding more explosions, implosions than the collective of stars coaxing you back, you’ve been black, silver and every single burst of this caught up in these failing wishes, new old golden chariots that paw, claw dance around the dark mercy for us, prayers for beauty you lay off the pressure like a yawning diamond coil throw me a few more yew seeds to feed our ink stain singing however, not knowing how many tracks we are to be given

The Shadow Road
my plants are black without ***** habits their previous green whispering of dirt jewels, pearl leaves I killed with the fire of safety a deep cutting will grow into something if you let it let it be splendid a jade negative lush with breathing

Do or Die
Suffer with grace the moment Forgive your wish to clasp pain long gone Nostalgia is more leaden than lead itself Gold of birds in mute winglessness Jump with grace from The Tower Mount glorious dull Star that allows your seeing The chamber is not destined to be your secret Lament your mortar, keep on building Radical rest is not dead blood In static you hear nothing of ecstatic colour Purpose hides in tiny infinite A chariot lies behind the tumour ****** the ticking that can’t be bothered Stop its blood without losing a drop Bear agony of flowers knowingly beautiful Be yourself sweet nothing one

The Dark Suite
Swirling round the original wound They loiter sprint on imagined limbs Wrinkled orb thus far removed Remembers furling glitter wings My crown I raise to indigo stars As dreams cascade in burgeoning cells ****** from earth in candle hymns I capture crow, my shadow nymph Siphoning words from fingers cupped With lips I sieve forgotten glyphs In blackness click the spirit prayers Engulfed I heed surrendering

The Garden of Fear
They hate that we stop clinging, try to surgically glue us back to branches that are no longer our home We fall, provoking, for maidens and mothers are coming and we must cede, reach for destined roots, furrow down like our etchings this time round Our bones are thin whispers at every trunk storing our emerging crone song. We are crushed as our wrinkles are blown up, gushing wisdom in ruby, copper and gold We are pushed into mounds echoing every impersonal violence to our subjected younger bodies Well, witch please I demand my wrinkles be removed from the firing line of instant disposal, be allowed to mark out some path for some sisters IF they want it and if they want it ONLY

You Don't Decide If I Get To Be Winter
This knot cradled us with good intention Protected us from rainbows Confused by silver sphere in moody portions It dissolves, black-hearted Leaves oil, knowingly perfumed Golden pink Meshed with scarlet spills Winowing 
 Widowing Drawing the petalled net Void entered So we sit With disappointed, endless sky To be touched by one star is enough To be really born To be crushed is a hug of Sweet welcome

Smoky Devotion
swimming pools filled by trunkless elephants plastic plates cleared of crumbs of witches dead eyes soldered to stapled bellies following a memorized sun in plush toy boats shaded with logos veneers as anchors every smile is the smear of a dead wingspan every petal now smelt on the emperor's robe where is the kind and how is the encore?
