sky packed too tight
bruised blue
needs to split itself open
thunder the wedge
hammered into the heart
of the stone
of the sky

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

sos logo svg

my sight sand-blasted
I see deserts
stared at by the sun
for too long
oceans of slow glass
a sea of seals
diving into each other’s
molten bodies

sos logo svg

rings made from rainfall

sos logo svg

the ones
who hollow you out
leave a cave

for another
to place
a candle in

sos logo svg

a tree shakes off
a torrent of rain
dipped its head
in the sky

sos logo svg

use the scarred skin
of your heart
to scratch a match
awake
then light a candle
in the cave
reveal the stalagmite
and stalactite stretching
dripping
towards each other

eventually
the tips of their tongues
will touch
spark at the heart
of the dark
they share


sos logo svg

took shelter
in the shadows
beyond the lamps

sos logo svg

in perpetual twilight
slow as dream time

sos logo svg

sunlight and midnight
lines the inside
of our chests

sos logo svg

the ghost of fireflies
froth from the fractured minds
of the thistles
the burning breeze
flakes the fields

sos logo svg

stilled by all the sunlight
held in your skin

sos logo svg

I don’t think about the thorns
I think about the blackberries
of your love
how they reveal the labyrinths
of my fingerprints
that touches the dark
trying to find your face

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
