take me to the space

between wind and sea

the place I can hold

you close to me



the waves cradle light

wakes form scattered foam

reminding me of stretch marks

you let me form



tears never dry

in dusk my heart bled

filling the sky

vivid red sunset



soft kiss on my shoulder

butterflies fly free

in the air everywhere

surreal memory

I need you, I cannot survive in this life without you
This is an evolved version of #43

I want to know

because the gravel

the dirt

the sky

the love

so overwhelming

to handle

to comprehend

so beautiful

and meaningless

how does beauty hold meaning?

you mean

the meaning in money

the money in beauty

the beauty in money

the beauty in meaning

Early for work

homemade coffee

will an ordinary life

ever find me

Dentist and errands

groceries purchased

an ordinary life

with a purpose

A fence for the dog

a house for me

an ordinary life

can set me free

Casseroles and pies

worn in cast iron

an ordinary life

could fuel my fire

Supper at 7

good night at 11

an ordinary life

sounds like heaven

It’s not fun to dip

Back into darkness

To flirt with it

Black sparrows in

A grey winters sky

Into the madness

Endless revelation sensation

The sad freedom

Loose creeping feathers

Over the reds confined wire

His snouts had two sets
a dual headed beast with
one body grounded
four eyes locked on me

the soldiers come last
each one covered and armed
lining the walls of a beasts canyon
pawns of a silver operation

he roared his chain taught
the officers guarding him
and I couldn’t reach defenses
too deep in my bones

a flick of the wrist
spinal twist bone by bone
surrendering to him
devoured, won
AS Nilsen Mar 2018
I feel foxes tumbling
outside my window
butterflies escape
much like their color

To the naked eye
my vision never ceases
capturing the same
essence time and thyme

two animals
finding home
between the sand
and the trees

one hunting to eat
two flutters in heat
a ripening life
like picking strawberries
