Unwrap me
I am a gift
A brazier radiant in the dark
Redeem me
Before I burn myself up.

I said my goodbyes
Wherefore then, this surprise
This unannounced monsoon
In my eyes
Oh this?
It's just the dead
Rising every now and then
To haunt the undead

I was looking for you
I found you
Explored you
Lived with you
Knew you
Too well.
I'm still looking for you.

If you could write me
And I could sing you
No world outside
Would intrude

My heart hurts
An implacable stormfront
Elephant goad driving
To abased shame
Older much, wiser a bit
Don't chafe at it
Swim through and with
Not against.
Yearning to float, to drown
Once more, in limpid warmth
Chase and catch forest flame
In scalded hand
What you would embrace
Is lost
This half pierced thorn
A sore
...a scabbed waif
Bathe it, home it
This stray tortoiseshell
Acquiesce to her reign
Her comfortable disdain
And you perhaps,
Will learn peace.

To two lone wolves
Baying together at the midnight moon.

Bared myself to you yesterday
Today I cloak me from you and the world

Of hurts translucent
Washed threadbare soft
Of sorrows scrubbed sheer
I swaddlings make
Pleading with my stubborn gaze
That will not tear
From your strange, stilled form.
One last dirge, I croon
'fore I cocoon
you love, in this weave--
May it keep you warm.
Cradle close in grieving arm
Safe from all bruise
Dash no more
'gainst stone rampart
Sleep now, my tattered heart.
The leave is took.
Passengered in gentle palm
little bird, now ascend
--to the back of the topmost shelf.
There, in steel chest
You will rest
Expunged from my breast.
There are heartless
Who are cruel
And there are the bereaved
Who walk, heartless among us.
