Await Anxious


5132095_14102214_b

the discomfort of familiarity with consistency

gnaws at necks

slides down the spine

and taunts with time

once

hours would fly then fall

wine white would bloom burgundy  blood

pale purple cotton clouds would wave through black blue skies

memories would meld with dreams

and dance in the lush possibility of each impossibility

the dulled murky mind longs to return to such a time

when i was mine

Flourish

5096459_10656647_b

with a dark fiery flourish

everything collapses

slow and unsteady

the biting beat

emanating from sour souls slipping to sleep

once bold

brash

brutal

unapologetically indulged

slurped up the spit of the sea

blew bubbles at the sky and laughed as it cried

earned exquisiteness

all ends should be so utter

so complete

A Wrinkle in Time

5508423_5719874_b

in the corner,

where the top lip turns into the bottom lip,

is a fine crease

that reveals the laughter

and devastation

of life already lived–

it is not red and tough

like the scar of a healed incision,

but gentle and strange–

and sometimes concealed

by

flattering lighting.

And although it is elusive

it is there to stay–

a faint reminder of the years

resting in lost

memories.
