Wipe your feet

I cannot hear the steps beneath my feet
I'm waiting till I hear them meet the ground
I'll sit down 
Wipe away those sounds and right back to the water
Let dungeon pool around me

1/1/15

Crustacean claws

Good claws
Crustacean claws
That pull and pry 
At the silk symbol 
Woven for a gratitude

But It wasn't fault 
For where rosy horns
Etch both directions
Serrations strip its mooring

And morning is already here 
As blood 
And clean white calcite
Rinsed through the brine

Fire on the lawn

Come over tonight
We'll put up fire
On our lawns
Of bon and bene
Reams of smoke
Twisting in streams 
The acrobatics of chimneys 

For the char of yesterdays
For the coke 
The black snow silence
That settles each morning
That's what it's for, you know
Though we can have our smoke
And our destructs
And the evenings spent in glows


Redder still, 
place behind eyes
Redder still,
 the sun's place on the other side of the sky
Where a sunset matters, and the sunrise only happened
