Elements of imagination
Bring with them destinations
Full of invisible desire
Little dotted islands conspire
Between mind and hearts
Where we do not drown
In #reality’s murky waters

your every #stripe is real
and unmistakable
each a sorrowful mystery of pain
that was #aching to be released
i count them among my own blessings
even as sin taints their creation
our #goal is shared
one to feel; to punish
to exist when myriad reasons scream
that we needn't

raw chicken is too tempting for a #crab. sunrise, at the #tender age of 8, i was taught to drop them in a boiling pot, fresh from the net. it was a #numbers game for a big family. steam escaped like screams from their shells; a sound i can still imagine w/ childlike horror

Shadows long and dark
Dark they walk by my side
Side to side I can’t #measure
#measure how far to run
Run-away but from my mind self
Self I am alone
Alone they appear these shadows
Shadows cover me all around
Around there’s nowt but shadows

Bits and pieces

A reminder of your kind
From folklores and rainy day tales
Scrolls of scripture some a prayer
Affirmations and musings
Goosebumps read like braille

my laugh is a carol

leave this meagre crumb

I wish I ran like a dog
eyes up
faith in a stride
tang of sun-warmed
iron-rich earth
huffed across my tongue
to be sick at
alum lilies
vomit up this energy
howl a dirge &
be done
to cut at birth
needled teeth
loveworn
to forgive and never forget
