Raven Feels Dec 2024
remember me
the woman that cast you in time
you cast me in yours

talk about me
so will I
being your blue moon and so

feel me
mirror eye to eye
an engraved shadow

forget me
while writing your book
I'm sacred to the line, you know?

I wonder if she poses to the camera
every once in a while
as if it was him taking her picture
at every time
what would it be like?
living
reminiscing
dwelling
waxing then waning
then remembering
then forgetting
dreaming at once
then escaping at other times
degrading the lots
then defending a frail
outline
of something that's been
but was never hers today to call
not even MINE
DO you mind?
I've thought you'd let me carry your body
rather than mine
but now it feels like
I'm not supposed to be alive
when yourself isn't even sure
if alive
looking back it sours
like a lime
depending on the hour
sometimes I miss the blacks
sometimes to miss the whites
tell me I am FINE
what do you even see?
what could you even find?
in the drops of water at sea
I see a picture with no define
blurry to the see by the meadow
by the cottage
by the sign
in sight
90s posters scattered
cheering the wine
surmount me in free
meet me: bar or gallery?
where our shadows hang
cornered
hung at a framed stance
what do you say?
say to me

it's been a while
constructs stuck in time
words couldn't and wouldn't be filed
life continues as if fine
and it's just fine

think before you blink
brain fog to the left
eye twitch
crucifixes to the right

think before you blink
feet reaching low ground
hands in pockets
glued to a high seat

shall I ask or shall I fly?
shall I ask or shall I hide?
shall I ask or shall I die?

in the blink
you are there
can they tell?
is it fair?

in the blink
you are HER
can they tell?
I can't spare

shall I tell?
"just swear"

muddy street
how do you feel
about me dragging my feet
all over you

muddy street
how do you feel
it's been years
and I'm not over you

muddy street
how do you feel
drains clogged
your water no see-through

muddy street
how do you feel
glanced upon from my seat
all the times I've been through

muddy street
how do you feel
about you sending me
into sleep that won't end

muddy street
how do you feel
flooding with my droplets
weren't you supposed to be a dead end

Raven Feels Dec 2024
slaves to the walk
like birds to the fly
hitting lights
blinded sights
wisdom snaps
waking up slaps
crimson and realizes
how to summarize this?
doing numbers
calculations fumble
sorting the rest
an equation or an aimless quest?
state in dooms
orbiting faces behind moons
knocking on another room means
being alarmed by other's caffeine
either act or pass
not some see-through glass
asking who and what option lasts?

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, ......

and when the words seem so fabric thin
no warmth or familiarity could speak for them
to be back stitched

love to think it was not
some winter night dream of late drinks & ***
flashbacks of an awaited trance

crystal flame, who to blame?
winds of immense handprints
see snippets, see ripples, in a fish-eye lens I'm crippled

the actuality of a thought
for its death has been revived brought
until you realize what is what
