Seize Me

Seismic, the sorrow -
seize me, my horrors
at war with dreams.

What do you see -
up there, there's no seeking it.
Seize the sunken,

Me.

They cut me here -
stop me short, as I,
see... see through the morrow
that I was promised.

Seize me tonight,
a fool, the seeker, me -
meek, bleak, toad's creek -
a pool of torchlight 
under a tree.

Comet

Noon and heat -
white brightness, I bleed -
a little thought 
slipping from my hair -
I sweat you,
a comet.

Down,
down into the heart of blackness -
you die a dot -
a little thought,
slipping down the leash -
sweat, comet, love, memory.

You,
having lit the charred walls
of the Universe,
die.
