when the moon
blinked, he saw

me, angry
but not mad. i

have stars under
my tongue.  i
won’t swallow

and my bones
scream to be let out
from under my skin—

they are the fire
on the surface
don't wake me. i'm not dreaming

knocking on hell's gate—
heaven isn't open on sundays
sorry
I am repeating with devotion the same mistakes again and again, like a ritual.
As if repeating them would justify them.

Alone is always a dark place,
No matter the light.
We're not solitary creatures.

don’t ever let anyone tell you
your hands aren’t the stars
your mouth isn’t the sun
your lips aren’t supernovas

don’t ever let anyone tell you
your mind isn’t cataclysmic
your thoughts can’t stop time
your actions can’t create earthquakes

because when your feet pound the pavement
when your breath comes in gasps
when you can’t stop blinking
seeing, hearing,
feeling

you are a cumulonimbus existence
of thunder and lightning

he is not your own little universe,
bottled up

you
are
the universe

Art is soul on canvas,
marked in word or brush or pen,
with the hidden exploding outward from what normally lies within;
but there are other tools of passion reaching deep into the soul,
where a paintbrush cannot stroke and words will never find a scroll...

This art, it shimmers lightly in a tiny velvet flame
where I cannot find an answer
and I cannot find a name...
but a tool...
a tool I've found,
and it barely makes a sound
until my fingers brush on skin
and there are whispers made of grins.

Oh this art it has a nameless tool...
that brings a lustful bite,
with my lips forgetting words
and my fingers forgetting colors...
but I paint throughout the night...
