Deathless laying - strewn -
your hand gripping the bone
in my shoulder.
Mixed are the decaying
shards of skin from
bodies
Everything almost touching
again reduced and
mixed in formation
and your hand
calcifies
to me
What in blank skin covering
the eyes - which twitter
and in their chaos -
accentuates our inhibition?
Ripe tears fall
never
into
the face catching
follicles
instead
I swam across to the
heartinents in your chest
and my
mother would say not to
fall into grips that
free emotions like
port, port that enters into
worldsea and drifts across
faded hurricane winds to encapsulate
icewinds in
jars like
coffins closing off to
blind light and opening
peoples airways to scream
of fear in love
Free of sight
in wine-flooded dreams
you lay
and I rest as hands
knot over the
abyss that opens for
brooding thoughts
that drip
out of my mind
as I lay my insatiable
eyes to rest.
