Losing since her first breath In a place of nowhere Untouched alone and quiet Eye to eye, thigh to thigh What did she have to know To wander from that sound Choose was is or what could be Playing happy, weren’t you happy?

Drip of bright In the overwhelming nothing Lick of light Under soul-emptied breathless Undone night Through the blood-curdling silence How do I know if anything’s there How can I care where I can’t go How will you believe the unknown deep Unsaid word In the jabber-scream hollow Inhale stirred Under silt shoveled righteous Its not… Continue reading Stars
The stone is rolling. Teetering on the edge. Where once it was secure, placed by the fingers and hands of the Almighty Creator, fixed in its place.
