Rest seemed better
than the exhaustion
of an organic pacing
bones in protest
wincing at their own sound
alive, only because you are
you remember
you're alive
because they are
tomorrow waits in the marrow
remembering the grinding
of aimless walks

A love loud enough
to raise the dead
centuries-long slumber
awake only to die again
hollowed bones
trace my veins
like a map leading to you
uncharted throbs
phantom flames
pulsing through
the waters that killed me
the only place
I could learn to breathe
lungs shaped around you
perhaps I drowned too soon
sinking into your cobalt pools

roll of the dirt,
click of the tongue—
metal clanks at the roots.
digging is done;
fatigue caked to boots.
scent of rest lingers
down in the hollow,
splinters in fingers.
lay frozen under sky;
night clouds open their wounds,
bleeding on the dry
that vanished too soon.
without a casket in a flood,
unmoving in treacle mud.

I’m tired,
but sleep isn’t rest—
it’s deceit in a slumber
where starlight dusts my eyes
and moonlight tangles in sheets,
my hair fanned out
like wings of moonbeams.
I stare straight up
at a ceiling made of maps,
places I’ll never be.
I walk there in my dreams—
the ones I only have awake.
I think about how
thunder only yells
after lightning strikes,
how rain hits the ground,
making waves like tiny oceans.
this storm is what tires me,
and sleep is never rest.

red in blue-lit eyes,
mirrored by the tide,
caught beneath wounded skies—
a place where love can't hide.

grayscale thoughts wander around
a mind of an opaque town
yet colored when viewed
through the window of you
refracting solstice
off the shadows of solace,
a dim world split in two—
half mine, half you.

Quiet hum in a dark space,
where thoughts sway
as shadowed dancers,
tracing shapes
from light cried
in lumen tears.

danse macabre
a silent dead
my wistful words
twirling on a thread
morbid bows
aching dips
a pang of music
from my own lips
pirouettes, no claps
stiffened formation
a stage near collapse
then—only silence
all from this cage
a sleeping ode
to my dying age
