blackened moss

in a zen garden.

distant from

silence.
Onoma Sep 2021
the color red, in

all its template slabs--

delves into other

colors.

consuming them as it

hosts them (very well).

batting away beneath

flesh...suddenness catching

itself.

what cannot be put out--

cannot be put out.

stories cooked away.

mercurial illuminations

pray over a space

for you good people.

put together

in some **** good

time.

snap, snap.

splitting jungles to

our cipher.

rationed twists pacing

this boney rock.

tense gone passed

it's penultimate

passion.

littering streets

with the discarded

masks of assembled

misery.
Onoma Sep 2021
the vainglorious changes

clarity on bedsheets,

after leaving them there.

celibate scales choosing a

fine stone, to remember

what comes of accusatory

skeins.

itching at any serpentine

shame, with the whole house

up.
Onoma Sep 2021
a torrential

sleep wants

after its

torn fabric.

too finely tailored

to fit.

against the quick

of rain.
Onoma Sep 2021
even when a kitchen's

light switch

is stroked shut--

like a piano key

sleekly

greased with soul

food.

the sun stays on...

as the moon does

her thing.

impeccably undressed.

spying on her unknown

creatures.
Onoma Sep 2021
one leaf has

to fall first,

atop a flower

like a petrified

fist.

performing an

austerity in

Mother India.

a damaru in Shiva's

hand.
