from his high vantage
tense blackbird tests the still air
five a.m. deepens

the cry & the tenderness
are no longer at odds
they move together
through the estuary of words
our dreams still cling
to old stones
life remains fragile as grass
our hands no longer know
how to hold
yet our heart keeps beating
#stellar
in the marrow
of the Mother Sun
#vss365 #poetry
the desert
she has #seen
moves through her
like a mirage
settling into
unrepentant words
she speaks of it
without rest
its sands finely #crazed
with fissures
her unshielded face
lifted to the sun
as rare footsteps fade
in jealous air
above an oasis bearing
a woman’s name
like a vow

within dormant mist
mimosa lifts its small suns

A wish upon turning tide.

how long will we stay
calling love
a promised land?
what do we know of it
if pleasure is all we name?
it is touch
fever
the #bouncy pulse
of bare skin
but also dark & blues
madness fused
with wisdom
a door flung wide
past the senses
both the wings
& the abyss

dawn splits the #dark wide
in fierce #romance with the night
orange torn from wounds
morning gathers through the pines
brief as our bright breathing hours

the surge of words
the tempest of the verb
the radiance of utterance
all pointing toward another realm
a fissure in the real
the #lacuna that language
reveals and conceals
intangible
sovereign still
it exalts us
or devastates us
consumes us
or sets us free
#vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets
#lacuna of rain
wide riverbed turns to dust

In her hands
she cups
the sense of the world
for #touch penetrates
as the voice does
Yearning quivers
upon her fingers
She understands
the beauty of things deeply
as she brushes them awake
It is then she knows
what they shelter:
nobility
grace
& kinship with belonging

midnight came
sublimely dark
against her #pale outline
she found herself
glued to counterpoints
feet on mountain's crown
hands beneath shore pebbles
#blood boiling
in primal caverns
brain catching fire
among the stars
& in her funny bone
tomorrows
keeping their own time

held close
to the hidden frame
at the mercy
of what has been
& what insists now
her #bones set firm
as she walks straight
into the stubborn genesis
where the ordinary tilts
& reveals a second depth
her pilgrim’s eyes
carrying a cargo
of the full moon

at hour
when night is still brewing
cities & faces
pass through her
like radio signals
pain & hope
sharing the same frequency
with tenderness
she reduces noise
living with #ache
the way one lives with weather
in the pale light
the room is as it is
misfortune
stays outside

A #ghost ship cuts through leaden waves. Rust bleeds down the mast. The deck is empty. Nicknames are gone. A black flag hangs heavy as a verdict. Somewhere a bell tolls once. #Terrified, fate looks away. Death takes the helm without mercy. The sea doesn't object.
The matter closed.

nebulous gold
throwing an ephemeral glory
on life’s #lambent points
wherein we burn
with the unknown voltage
whirling on our axis
scrawling signatures
upon the diurnal hoarding
radiance ricocheting outward
carrying its inherent charge
between emergence and return

valleys never made
for the measured steps of man
flowers out of line
a lambent landscape slowly
overrun by feral pines
