dear sacred, unnameable, unapproachable you
everything is interconnected.
-
on that rough patch of a slippery road
in the passenger seat i stared into the noise wall.
i knew then.
to carry this conviction in the purse
of my stomach like a leaden bullet.
there are ways to smuggle this
and make it out alive, i repeat.
she the catalyst,
empty bullet case
shifted gears and became a stranger.
you turn around and see
a wall of a slippery road.
one to zero,
limp neuron. and i believe
we all switch modes
but is it circular and are there ways back to foregroun
Literature
Wishing Cranes--C.
The street-level apartment,
abandoned from wear and tornado
last spring, tells us love stories
in graffiti inscriptions.
Close enough to the road
that it leans looming over it,
the complex slumps, unused,
except by an eight year old boy;
old enough to have been told not to
and young enough to not understand.
He has hands that stutter—
hesitate—
because he folds paper
like he seals envelopes:
with purpose.
He has a mind that isn't reluctant;
why wish upon a star
when the beings
that can grant wishes
are in the spaces
between constellations?
Together, his head and hands
craft paper cranes.
Between knotted levels of rope,
cranes
Literature
The Weight of Being
His mind kneels, heart dancing his mind is dark and he tastes his heart. Persimmon sweetness, its faint undertones turning to something unknown. Restless nights greet unhappy dawns a fever crept underneath his pillow and made its home. Something moves into his spirit from above, disturbs the rush of his blood. A flood of words weighs his tongue down down So many stones in his feet, filling his bones his mind is drowned
