sometimes i feel like atoms flung;
other times, like
atoms in flight
arching toward some strange
sideshow attraction
at the end of time.

my skin,
opal
white
in lunar light;

she
scryed
these hard tears
until they came.

your cold heavy vapor swims up there and
itoldyouso face and
wild rose distillation, which
always has me coming
hard.

it stills it;
like lakes placid in the beginning back then, it
kills the pill
that takes me
and frames me
in the worst ways, like like like
an oil painting of a bowl of ******* fruit hung
in the abyss (?).

but sometimes i can't come
and then my thoughts hafta
turn the color darkknotsundone
so that i can shoot thorns
and be fuzzy peripheral again.

fiddle middle blither and blight:
find the most uneventful, little stone you can find and
look into its pale glass till it
              looks back.
  it'll:
                                      wriggle, alight and look alike not,
so that you may
         see things
                        lighter, brighter and
   less locked.

go to bed
as one
thing;
wake up,
shake off
the oiled
silk
rigor of what
once was,
now
a stranger to it; re
member
your
self:
eat
all the thoughts

my heart is
dark and
light, like
a frail, old
pink bone china teacup
made from the ashes
of my past
fists.

sometimes
the twist of my mind
feels like one cold hand
crawling up my back,
******* each nodule as it goes,
as if feeling for
  some
thing.

and
   i
    like
it.
