Mar 2017
she exhales
she is here
she is terrifying
she smells of fear
she breathes her mind
she justifies
her appetite by saying she is broken
all her forms
all her faces in this space
in all spaces are conjoining
are separating
all these years
and all these emotions
are diverging
from a single source
all roads follow
all dreams fade
all roads narrow
all hell is paid
now there shall be poetics
local agriculture
and music
in twilight
roses
keep the fragrances alive
her majesty
I asked her what would she like
she spoke about the fire
and the envy of her pride
join me for this supper
and i’ll tell you about the time
when the keeper of the music could no longer write
her eyes became two diamonds
refulgent in the moonlight
her daemon appetite
grew stronger
and hungered for your sight
