Leave your boat untied at the shoreyou won’t need it where you’re goinguntethered by that twine of dyingit still hangs above your head like a branch attached to your neckit’s a short way down, but no way back you’re underestimatingeverything a long walk down a short hillyou didn’t have to climbit all comes out in […]

Swirls
Swirls and swirls and circlesWhirring fansSlurring wordsSlicking fur and curling hairFluffing the feathers of a bird Clarity, it’s crystalMissingThe whistlesThe crickets chirpThe hot sun hits your smoke signalsYou call and no one picks up Cicadas, cadence carriesCan weCall it a nightClose up all the windowsDon’t let the bed bugs bite Lines and lines and lightFighting […]
