fairy lights flickered
when no one was watching
woodsmoke curled to sleep
in the grass

sunlight and midnight
lines the inside
of our chests

dandelions
became sunflowers
heads bowed
by the weight
of their manes

sos logo svg

stories to temper steel to
when the story falls silent
the folds folded
asleep inside the blade

sos logo svg

you’re the moth-eaten moths of memory
the torn tapestry of my life
its seams of moonlight
scars become skin

sos logo svg

silhouettes pirouette
with the shadows
of marionettes

sos logo svg

in another field
skylarks sleep
wings taking root
in the earth

sos logo svg

I’ve been out watching moths
wings made from buddleia petals
brains the ghosts of embers
edges still lit
threads a fuse

sos logo svg

my heart
more cave and cavity now
waiting for the collapse

sos logo svg

how the wind
hisses a sigh
through the reeds
how the sea sings
far inland

sos logo svg

walking with you
turned fields
into prairies

sos logo svg

scars like lips sewn shut
kiss without tongue

sos logo svg

I think of the wish
whispered
into a wine bottle
at the end of a party

I wonder
when will it break
be set free
granted

will it be
when you most
need it

when your life
in more pieces
than the glass
than sand

sos logo svg

bright
as a blackbirds beak
light stuck

between your teeth
eyelashes
on fire
