heart a grate
full with ash
carried out
to the garden
on a warm
windy night

light a candle
with me
all night
we’ll watch
the lowering
of the flag
of its flame

sos logo svg

I see you
the suits of shadows
lined with gold

sos logo svg

rooms lit by storms
and midnight snow

sos logo svg

my heart
more cave and cavity now
waiting for the collapse

sos logo svg

in another field
skylarks sleep
wings taking root
in the earth

sos logo svg

summer did not live
in that summerhouse
winter and spring
braided themselves there

sos logo svg

the hinges of your heart
sprinkles rust like pollen
as the dark wind of your blood
squeezes through its doors
left ajar

sos logo svg

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

sos logo svg

I write to you
to keep you near me

sos logo svg

bells hold onto
all the peals struck
from the dark
of their bodies
a forever home for shadows
hung in the wind
that whips whispers
from their stillness

sos logo svg

I won’t speak to you again
I will still sing to you
songs white as whispers
same frequency as ghosts

sos logo svg

glass the gatekeeper
asks the sky
if they’re on the list

sos logo svg

sparrows dream songs
within the walls
