Move down upon a hollow road
Dreary wind’s gentle tap on your door
The grey bird’s path in willow lanes
Skeletons for evermore
Or lest the snow falls on the ‘morrow
And quiet drapes winter its sheet
Keepsake my sparrow in the morning
In memories ‘til spring we meet

I want to bite the feathers off your back
Rip away your veins and settle into mourning
Like your blood tasted of pain
I want to tear you, tease you all the day
Pull, punch, rattle, shake and leave you all in bones
And break, brake before the hurricane
I want to teach you how to hear my name
Shudder, tremble in fear and release into hiding
Wait until your ghost appears
I want to freeze your face in that position
Expression twisted out and drop your wings before you
Shout, shout but to no gain

What beautiful little words
You spread across the page
As if this call for empathy
Could dispel your rage
What dainty little lies
You whisper in my ear
As if this pause for apathy
Somehow negates your fear
What delicate little souls
You lead onto the ice
As if your hindsight sympathies
Could currently suffice

I dropped my pocket four days ago
I hardly noticed at the time
But when I went to find your note
I found it had been left behind
Along with every untossed penny
And clumps of tissue and twine
Although in truth it was no great pocket
Somehow I’d lost all that was mine

A breath of whispers
Cast me to your depths
Rolling in that thunder gulch
Midnight, why respire?
Wake me with a splash
Dawn and passive cry for mulch
This excessive erosion
Secret me your protections
Trip wire designating unintended fault
A dark of dream scare
Toss me in your undulations
Sapphire coagulating in that salt

Cat sits behind cage
Bored
Man comes in
Cat leaps up
Tries to catch his coattails
Snags his heart instead
Cat sleeps on couch
Content
Man comes in
Cat wakes up
Swats away his gentle hand
Signing it in red
Cat hunts in field
Brave
Man comes out
Cat pounces down
Returns to comfort of house
Victim having fled

I dance along the terrace
That sits outside your soul
On a perfect summer evening
I laugh with the voice of daffodils
That grow up in your garden
And drink the blood from your veins
I leap across the meadows
That lie outside the wasteland
You like to call your heart
I cry with the boughs of willows
That ring around the skull
Where all your dark dreams spawn
I swim through the memory
Of a starry-eyed girl
That is only found on cold winter nights

I cannot touch your fog people
They haunt me every night
Sad smiles slipping from their faded lips
There’s a moth drowning in the candlelight
The velvet flour of its wings
Dancing in the flames and casting shadows
Over my sunken eyes
I’m searching for your breathless
But maybe that’s my problem
Perhaps all they are is smoke and air
There’s no moon tonight in this sinkhole sky
The blackbirds have smothered her
In their charcoal feathers as fireflies
Pretend to form stars
I can only remember your voice
Ringing like elk-song in my ears
When their dew point fingers brushed my heart
There’s a silence that is pulling at my soul
The soft glow from my chest
Is being dragged over those unlit fields
I walk alone
I cannot touch your fog people
They are not mine to see
Sifting in between here and eternity
There’s a scream echoing in my memories
The desire to touch your mist
Leaving hopeless footsteps that end abruptly
And do not exist

The forest has been waiting for you
Patient but forever it has
Been quietly pining for you to return
Its heartbeat's track of ballads
The doe appears out of nowhere
There's a screeching of wheels
That's how I think of you
A beauty the world is always narrowly missing
The sky has been calling your name
But you forgot how to listen
Long ago you once joined feathers to clouds
And in sunlight made them glisten
The cat lurks in the shadows
There's a midnight cast to her back
That is how I think of you
A haunting spirit with grace but no definition
The sea has been forever taunting you
Its crashes add to your fear
The knowledge of that waterlogged creature
Somewhere deep down there
The breeze catches your hair
There's a soft roll of thunder in the twilight
That is how I think of you
A gentle storm to rock a child to sleep

I miss you
Such simple words
Full of pain
Causing pain
Shattering
Like crystals upon
A cold stone heart
It’s simply
That I can’t stand
To be here
So all I want
Is to be there
Logically
****
What am I doing?
So convincing
The truth is
The truth is
The truth is
I’m lost
