This maritime shift amongst turpentine rugs
Where tapestries bloodied the burrows in coal.
I peruse the pebbles furious for sanction.
The stones hurled aimlessly at trust.
Two sets of blankets lie hugging your soul
For youth has escaped in its death.
When the lights dim in ice and the branches
Scratch backs, your wand will fasten a bow upon itself.
A puddle of punch flavored mud slathers your fields of clover-
Coins tossed in sheets where pillows lounge quietly in smoke,
Sustain your words with safety pins.
I shall not attribute fate to us, but attribute it to the rules.
It’s perfectly customary to be disheartened
While being charitable of inner strength.
Trampled, clenched, and choked.
Craving that all the traits you possess
Were instilled in the other.
We all need fat lips that shine with the blue of an eye…
Where water defeats the hum of my breast
and the cry of water stricken seed.
You broke my toes, and burned them blue
While I pushed peppermint through crayons.
Tangled scent confused with artful crime-
Invites a broom and gin to dance.
I am solitary.
A howl from whisking your will into spoon.
The blocks of A’s and sullen B’s stack blurry eyed in symmetry
A child sealed in a cardboard box, of chalk and widowed chemistry.
