Death came to feast
on pride and ill intent

Leaving only bones
—the marrow ****** dry

Somersaults
In the tall grass
Lutalica girl
In places on the run
Stretched out in her awakening
Removes the dress of her captivity
To introduce herself to those she loves
There's something deeply unknowable
And terrifying in the arrival of her liberty
Sprung forth out of the box
She started from

Alone on the threshold of liminal space;
I come across all my broken parts.
Floating and thought misplaced;
They gravitate as I pass, and circle back to me.
All these years lost in a sorrowed haze;
I had forgotten the creases that create my happy face.
The careful weathered etchings,
Of the years where pleasure always bested pain.
My eyes see clearer now, but how much of me remains?
If enough to scrawl, these reflective letters
Then enough to walk, out through the hallowed halls
That entomb all the past attempts to rid the dangling darkness
From above my waking world.
Enough to run; towards somewhere, and not away from

A little birdie told me
You'd wandered far away
Saw you out in San Francisco
Tracked your steps from train to train

She said you're finally wading in the water
And dancing in the streets
I told her she can come back home now
That news is all I need

Your sitting on my lap
With my arms wrapped
Around you keeping you
Warm safe and always loved
Cherishing you night and day
Kissing you softly today and
Kiss your gentle lips and hold
You so tight and I'll listen to you
Inside my heart every day and
Every night and we'll always be
Together we'll grow old loving
Each other forever.
Lover's ❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘
