caw

this
          velvety
spiral

wins every time

                      unfalsifiable lines chime

                           its shiny corvid lips
                                      merely graze my sensing its
                     heavy lean

and i arrive
         twitchy

the feels for this poet

your blackbow words
melt my syntax
into a scarfelt dew

things
feel
possible again
when i lay myself down
along your darklit spectrum

my words
prostrate before you,
crowgoddess,
ruler of all
that twiststurns
and licks clean
this lonely vessel of yeses no'd

this night sits
low on my brow
alighting thoughts thoughts thoughts
i can feel this lunar weight's fist
it's knuckle
the color of come

eat me

this flickering heart
                    has been carved out
and framed

as light

              it beats
                 alongside winks of other lights
from otherwheres
where otherhearts too
                       are pictured there

           eat me

   ingest
   mine

filet of scarlight
for yours
       truly

   in these
darker times
                            so that you may see more

                                it's not much
                                 but it's all i have

finger the want

sojourn of old extremities
into new space

mouthglyph

her vocal chords
ten verdant tendrils
helixing ocher brainscrape stir

sound re-members energy againagain
marigold tiger soft glow fleshcaress balm

my contusion
cared for
dressed in mossygauz
diaphanous cure

i feel
good
somehow

dont let me get me
please
eater of spiral
seer of hurt
speaker of word

i will bottle the sound of rain
and fold it
deeply
into the quietest recesses
of that muscle
just below your breastbone,
and make it beat chartreuse
soft taps slithering wet yesyesyes's
