spread like sap
through my veins
fill me
the way this depression fills me
seep in
unnoticed
unbidden
attach to my spine and make me dance
Tag: depression
On Edge
on edge
and balanced
comfortable even
bells go off
I’m fine
I’m fine
here
Last Phone Call
time comes, my friends
crossroads and all that
hate to meet you wrong side up
Undreaming
stitched to bluest sky
flightless bird
i balance on the curves and edges
on the corners and precipices
arabesque
Ravens and larks unpuppeted remark
on finest weather
while i tethered
issue complaint
a spider’s webbing
netting
has pinned me
a flightless fish
i gulp
and strangle
endlessly tangled
in which i am
and which I’m not
arabesque
i aim for one definition
and find myself falling
unnaturally falling
out of the blue
Shadow
pray for me, sister
the shadow has fallen
and no sweet smile can untuck his hand
from mine
will i walk with shadow all the time
pray for me, sister!
his feet are lockstep with mine
the devourer’s fill cannot come this time
i am too weak for the climb
must i walk with shadow all the time
pray for me, sister!
our swords are crossing
my steps are slowing
just one good thrust and I’m through
must i fight this shade all the time
yes, yes, yes
i will
