aromatic smoke;
atropaic talismans–
hunger, undeterred
mosquito weather
long sleeves, thick socks, talismans
nothingness has teeth
not a cloud above:
vestigial bodyheat
bleeds into vastness

thunderstorm arc-light;
kilovolts surging through flesh–

heartbreaking frailty
fragile pupa; early frost -
stillborn butterfly
Blackened chrysalis;
a moth’s dreams die in stillborn
metamorphosis

lateblooming roses shiver
in relentless cold)

wizened fall leafdrift
colour like candied walnuts
crackles underfoot
Unseasonable
heat; unending drought brings a
caramel-color fall

(not gonna lie, gang, the bad-brain is hitting pretty hard this winter)

twilight train station;
empty platform, haunted by
so many partings
train whistle
the crisp air chills
with goodbyes

taking flight on
flimsy origami wings,
a selfmade angel
i have a glass halo and paper wings..

corroded hinges
shrilly screaming intruder
but - only the breeze
broken latch-
the wind lets itself
back in

tempest roiling in a cup;
jovian weather)

grasping for handholds,
all I desperately seize
frays beneath my touch
My life in #tatters
i try to grasp what matters
I hang on to love

facedown in a book,
let resplendent autumn leaves
fall, unregarded
