my sorrow
And still
I cling to the breath
We borrow
I am grateful
For this life
I am thankful
For today
I am thankful
For a chance
At tomorrow

Her body is scalding
Aromatic
Earthy, sweet, full-bodied
Pour it over me
Eviscerate my tongue
Drink her to the last drop
My mouth full of milk and honey
My honey full of milk and mouth
The cup now empty
The clock strikes noon
Same time tomorrow?

You twist my mind into morbid rings
You have me wishing I could
collect the eyes of men
To take in the full frame of your beauty

An inconceivable fire i refuse to put out
I would place her in the sky
sit under shade of a low hanging tree
I wouldn't burden her with the truth of my love
I would watch her fill the tide of heaven
I would worship her as the night worships the moon

against mine
leaves me as radiant
with love
as the moonlight.
Even your shadow
seems bright
with sunshine.
Even the dawn
takes a lesson
from you.

My weathered heart–the bedlam sown
Through rise and fall of endless stars
My fairest love was you—by far
If the sun could emulate your eyes,
How bright the moon would burn the skies
Although it lingers on your skin
The source of beauty lies within

by the hands of the clock—oh, my lacquered mouth,
made sweet by the honey
on your tongue.
I am made blood and gold
by your kiss.

Mi luz de la luna
Tú me transformas:
Uña a garra
Diente a colmillo
Un hambre apaciguable
En una hambruna implacable
Tu vestido es mi némesis
Una oposición a superar
Si mis dientes no lo hacen pronto—
Aprende el paladar de tu gusto—
Puedo morir
Mi luz de la luna

To pry myself away
But the golden flakes
Between the caverns
Of your eyes
Revive me
I am the darkened valley
You are the golden flood at dawn

Crying herself into a pillow,
wading through a deep river
of viscous tears between us
She's shaking
with an otherworldly ache,
Clawing at the wall
And I, faithfully, behind her
Cheeks of her rear
Spread firmly
Between my grip

Like a soft lacquer
My body fervently
Brush stroked
By the bristles
Of 10 000 knives
Freeing me
From myself
Death becomes me
And I am renewed
For another season
So it goes
In this very way
Until the season arrives
When I become Death

The chemo gnaws
At my mother's body
From without
The way I use grief
To carve the body
Of this poem
To hide the immensity
Of its shadow
While a deep silence riots
Within me
My killing hands
At the ready
My joy will pay
The price
Of my failures

Your lips against my ear—
I hear the sounds of galaxies draped in the shoreline of a great and endless black ocean, bioluminescent and a pale glimmer of your sight

with gritted teeth,
her fangs unsheathed
by scent of flesh
and forest leaves
Low,
fitful howls
Drunk
on lunar ecstasy
Mistaking me
for the moon

Cross legged
On an arrow of time
Golden light breaches
The perpetual edge
Of distant memory
The light scatters
Into a sea of endless wanders
We move through the sky
Or maw of the abyss
I don't know
I have yet to see
the dawn
My gaze has been fixed
to your eyes this whole time
