Trouble me so
Anger me certain
A year is gone and here’s the mark
Come to keep me closer
Kill it while you can
Or you’ll cover it over
A year’s the scar that closed the gash
Come to keep me open
Layers, each in parallax
One over the other
Feign the depth and feel it flat
The way our foreground hovers
Come to me more carefully
Over every inch of crater’s edge
And see it deep and wide
Holes where the roots were
Space where the fear was
Bones where the meat was
Bury me now utterly
A patch of uneven soil
No heartbeat to tell
Demon in the gears
Jagged in the socket
A year’s the tooth that drew the blood
Come to keep me reeling
Phantom in the wires
Bubble in the marrow
A year’s the hex that hurt me so
Come to haunt this feeling

Light & Lee

The can't and quit of it
The dimly lit of it
A coffin lid on it
A grim and gradual end
An inevitable end
The slowest entropy
Gets us eventually
And then who knows, not me
Descend, disintegrate
Mean just the marks you made
And even those go
In the light
In the lee
It's a shadow underfoot
When it breaks off from me
I'll up and float away
The tooth and quill of it
Plankton and krill of it
When done distilling it
The rudiments rattle
The whole thing shakes
And we reel and recalibrate
Deny all other fates a route
Down which to flow

Comet's Course
03:05
|

All those other lives
Each a phantom fate
Distributaries flow
Like arteries go
Always out and away
A comet’s course, a current
Otherwise diverted
Pivoted and parted
Singular ‘til divided
Path forks and wishbones
Our feet in the sea foam
Each way’s a way we may go
Path forks and wishbones
Veins branch and blood knows
Each way’s a way we may go

Anemone

Anemone an enemy
To anyone but me,
Immune inherently
No sting but mine
No blood the prick can hide
Come the wave that carries me off
Flotsam flows and never knows the route
Fear’s the foam that flies on top
And we’re the weedy shipwreck tossed and turned
And reefs will grow out of our bones
You come to me
I come to you
