wind

Slipping into night
Undressed... exposed
To dark shadows
¤
Love worn corners
Beneath wet fingertips
Electric touch
¤
Her spine arced to him
He bends with her
Becoming wind
¤
In one breath
Melting every moment
Before him
¤
Silk of her wings
Wrapped his every move
Like freshly dried sheets
Warm against his skin

homeless

I know how people become homeless
Severed lines once well grounded
Friends, family disintegrate in a wash of resentment
Slipped footholds to an abyss of unknown
Where needs slow into wants
I thought I had it
I thought I'd make it
Each penny to someone else for something gone
I know
How people become homeless
Collapsed foundation, the roof falls in
Cutting every piece away in ordered priorities
Letting love go ...it's too expensive
No time to the bottom of the penny jar
Closer to alone finds a new level
Of just what we'll take
I know how people become homeless
I'd rather waste away than have you see
What's become of me
All that's left is dirt
And words

cliche of flowers

Glowed light within
Deep inside
Plastered opaque white
Bright tiny red
Supernova expanse
¤
Pinpoint shine
Broken through steel
Skeleton under stretched skin
This bloom
Beating in atoms
¤
Pushed by fire
Self-ignited arson and iron
You breathe in
My every thought
Closer than feeling
¤
Shaping something
From nothing
My emptied space
Filling, filled, wanting
You
¤
The cliche of flowers
My bloomed affection
Like brightening flames
From candles to wildfire
From like to Love

singularity

I think
Post human
Source code
Intelligence
Super
Intelligence
Transcendence
Unlimited
Smoke and flamed
Event horizon
Sucked and
Created
Spun black
Tech chip
In dust
Death
My new drug
A zombie
Delicacy

we met

I remember
when I could
string words
like glass beads
for your neck

I remember
when my words
meant so much more
than scratches
on burnt skin

I remember
when I turned heads
with a thought
of blue
words

I remember
when your skin
was made of words
charcoal written
in gray lust

I remember
when I loved you
with words
before
our skin met
