you inhale more smoke
taking more small steps to death
to feel more alive

Traveler
Shed some light
And cancel all
The dark day's dawning
Hold the rain
Know that without you
I'll be drowning

Write it down
Burn it in
The sacred cauldron
Touch the gods
Hold the gate
The angel's calling

Touch my heart
Dreams expire
Lay beside me
Warm and tired

Sounds of laughter
Echoes wide
Lost in ether
Eccentric minds
I thought that maybe I'd have something to write about now but I guess not because here I am with black eyeliner and hickeys that look like snakebites still wondering what to say

You were
           living
             breathing
                poetry
complex
   beautiful
    but not always understood
                                  or appreciated.

cards•bottom of the barrel•i seem to be

coherence eluding...the words that need
