doesn’t ask the stone
Why it should smooth
its edges as it flows.
Perhaps the sun
has always simply shone
On thorn and rose alike,
because it knows
That grace, like spring,
needs no reason to return,
And love, like fire,
simply exists to burn.

of the mountain’s spine,
the One who paints
the dawn in rose and gold,
reach down through
infinite design
to lift a broken sparrow
from the cold?

The rain descends; a cold conundrum pressed
Against my skin, yet roots drink deep below.
What shivers through my bones becomes the blessed
Necessity that makes the green things grow.

a patient thought,
whose thread sublimates light
to silver thought.
Earth pulls, sky calls,
and it chooses neither.

Let sap-song be my vespers
and the fernbreath my own;
I’ll marry moss and moonbeam’s bright eventuality.
Where deerpaths weave through starlight and the oakhearts beat unknown,
Let twilight write my testament in silver ecstasy.

In copper waters, silence
holds its ancient dream,
While hungry blooms feast
on light’s forgotten seams,
Here potential sleeps
in peat’s slow, sacred decay,
As barren mirrors birth
tomorrow from today.

contains no straight lines,
or single notes
or hues;
there are,
instead,
entire worlds,
whole galaxies
of brilliant blues.
Sometimes I’m exhausted
by this kaleidoscope
behind my eyes.

both witness and altar
and eternity haemorrhaged through that crack.
I’m a question mark
carved in flesh,
Staring into an abyss
that stares back
with my own eyes.

while I,
drenched apostle of fear,
wonder if the hawthorn’s tears
are wiser than me.

Their courses bending where none has yet seen;
The sky becomes a canvas, rare and new,
Where certain people learn the art of dreams.

And the tides yearned backwards toward a moon
that would set, that night,
behind your shoulders.
I was
suspended
in the grammar of goodbye.

abandoned
by a retreating sea
holding fragments
in a shallow basin
a trapped
constellation of salt
dreams of drowning
But, the horizon,
only,
swallows the yearnings
of grief.

As if I were the malignant shadow cast by light.
My mind (my cartographer of wounds) could not map
The geometry of such pain.

A thing reborn from night’s dissolving foam,
Hoping some cosmic hand might rearrange
The very atoms of his earthly home.
