  • Fire

    I'll knit you all

    Us all

    Closer together

    So close and so tangled

    You're lost in it

    In the whispers in your ear

    And I'll slip out like a snake

    Weaving away from my destruction so I can play in the ashes

  • Pale Green

    My world has been stained pale green.
    The clear depths of the deep blue are now a shade of pale turquoise.
    Amber light filters through the foliage,
    into the hollow cavern that has replaced my heart.

  • Release

    She was born in the radiation era, 
    A veil of marble covers her eyes,

    Her lids webbed in waves: 

    They were stitched too tight

    to permit the penetration 

    of the perpetrator.

  • supernova

    when a star dies, it is a violent explosion.

    it can emitt more light than an entire solar system.

    and while it pulses with hot gas and blue light,

    it slowly dims. until its remnants are scattered

  • What Does It Take to See?

    What does it take to see the dandelions blooming in the spring, yellow manes bobbing in the wind?

    What does it take to see the sun slanting through the windows, to hear the tree frog's chorus in the night?
