to the dead lands where the wombs woe
where writhes and ripens in blackest spring
the star of being whose light our thoughts
like worms from corpses rotting glow
The sun menaces beside me, covered in crows. Beats like a heart, threatens to remember everything. How I stretched your blood over my shoulders like a quilt and stepped out into the snow.
carillons of windows darken in coventry
the feathers expunged from their souls
conjure some measure of neutrality
from the vermiform spark of your layered strings
a voice shakes free from the talons of the wind
is this where the ground opened up
but feel your skin
burst with the laughters of life
bathed in damasks of molecular choreography
lift your hand to your eyes
