your blackbow words
melt my syntax
into a scarfelt dew

things
feel
possible again
when i lay myself down
along your darklit spectrum

my words
prostrate before you,
crowgoddess,
ruler of all
that twiststurns
and licks clean
this lonely vessel of yeses no'd

eat me

this flickering heart
                    has been carved out
and framed

as light

              it beats
                 alongside winks of other lights
from otherwheres
where otherhearts too
                       are pictured there

           eat me

   ingest
   mine

filet of scarlight
for yours
       truly

   in these
darker times
                            so that you may see more

                                it's not much
                                 but it's all i have

haiku #5

farewell tears
falling to the ground --
autumn leaves

Repost -- because I can't say it any better

Poetry 101

Do not follow in the footsteps of the great poets.
Seek what they sought.
