morning frost rises
in wisps of first light's kiss
bare branches tremble

moonlight
scraping her skin
she walked
and walked
dropping
her tears
like breadcrumbs
scraping her skin
she walked
and walked
dropping
her tears
like breadcrumbs

The rain reveals me,
my arms open in sorrow
asking, "Is this it?"

Dancing to a track
You shared once upon a time
Ghost hands on my waist.

sinister sickles
punctuate the path
undeserved smiles
shed in falls from grace
frowns rooting into earth
& flourishing into rot
—penance
no more a means of control
unseen madness moults
like wind-whipped leaves
within the pluviose violence
of a forgotten forest

I am made fragile
by the beauty of the stars
by their sharp edges
and fierce burning
a glass heart cracking
beneath the weight
of the sky

she’s got
a sweater
kind of soul
the kind that
holds you with
every fragile fibre
the kind that doesn’t
know how to keep you
anything but warm

much it means to see
your fearless plumage adorned
with fire in a world of ice
