in the piano room
stained glass windows
fragment the oaks
i read poetry and made art
the moon was full, i let go
and you held me
before we ever did more
evening sunlight tilted on tapestries
the bedsheets
the edge of your shadow
i felt the earth spin
or i became the moon
don’t sleep,
just stay
my lingering dark
pull me under the warmth
under the warmth
under warmth
borrowed clothes
scatter the room
silhouettes with open mouth
light passing through
dance in familiar rooms
sleeping like strangers
your ghost
is holding gently
you’re from warmer places
darker memories
not in my dreams
it rained in my bed,
the sunlight was golden after.
different tongues
same rooms
my walls around your hand
a ceiling full of stitches
hands grip warm plates
because you forgot the english word for mug
silence resonates under the earth
I don’t want to be there while I’m here
feel the presence
a cadence of heartbeats
ear to the dirt
fingertips digging
until the song’s end
it rained down the hallway
the tea kettle is whistling
music in quiet
art untamed
blurred vision,
stunning delight
straight lines,
smokey light
unaltered creation
or halves of you
a rhythm of you
in pattern, texture, light;
a feeling
in shape, form, stories
unspoken in me
canvases of bedsheets
a softness of mind
places you’ve loved
and your little sisters I wish to have met
and oh,
the stars…
they’ve started talking to each other…
then,
i remembered myself. because i didn’t love you, either.
blanket of music
clouds fill the meadow
softening the line of trees
forests extend to fingers
tracing jawbones and teeth
it was music, truly
echoing aimlessly in evening light
or the pitch black night
musica de manta
les estrellas brillen para ti
the piano is gone now,
the window open to birds
