Church

The womb,
a sad church -
harmony of darkness
and soundlessness.

Intrusion, worship;
the darkness being
looked at.

Bent knees -
they soar to a cloud of pain.

Asking.
In whispers.

One last look
at the light 
through the stains -

and they're gone.

Not Anymore

There isn't time
corking the bottle anymore -
the soul has fled -
fled away from the fragility
of trances ...
from the deadness, life?

Unforgettably

His voice is the smell
of roses I have
never touched.

Clutching the seconds -
a skiing in snow,
he races across me ...
unforgettably.

I trace these wrinkles
and taste an intimacy
between us.

We are, we are -
in a timeless moment,
the meaning, the meaninglessness;
the mirth of the earth
when upon it a star,
falls.

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.

I'm That Light

I'm that light -
caught between bubbles -
several bubbles -
they choke me,
a little, round rainbow,
trying to exist
like a soul in too many bodies!

These bubbles die -
no dearth of death here.
And then I'm set free,
an invisibility.

Bizarre freedom,
a curse -
nothing contains me;
nothing sustains
but me.

Tears

Tears,
unwelcome tears -
flood the hollow of the night -
Dawn floats,
a broken branch -
a lost hope,
cracking the eyes
with its dryness,
piercing the heart 
with all its might.
