Stoat
03:02
|

|
Softly
Draw a room with air
Moving through the lungs
The hands, the body
A stoat moves through the shadows
A moment alone
Under a clear plastic dome
These walls are built out of light
The movement of others is paused
Faceless enemy fleeing
A circle of thread
System expanding
Burrow warm by the riverbed
A stoat moves through the shadows

Marinero

|

|
Lace in water, hand in lace
Reaching light
Moon on mirror, caged in flight
Reaching light
Marinero búscame una perla
Pluma de angel te levante a arena
What rises and ripples in a sinking world
What replies
What memory of ocean answers
Clearly in the night
What replies
Marinero, búscame una perla

I peer from my bed, the light streams in
You wait for me at my door
I think in the dark then come to you
I know that you won’t stay
I harm I hurt I hold I ask
I arm, I am your boy
On some other star, I fly from you
I’m water running through your hands
Wives of the stars await you
Somewhere else, they dream of me too
I turn to him in the dark
I reach out for his warmth
The bed is cold
Somewhere distant
He’s alone and I fly from him

Selfothermade
03:23
|
|||
|
Empty as a shell
Keening roar of a nearing swell
A word nobody knows
The echo drags along the page
A margin nobody owns
A spiral drawn out by a mage
Arise out of red water
Selfothermade
Water, root of the wind
Breath for breath, graying skin
She mouths, I will outlive you
Selfothermade
Parasite of the eye
Hole in glass, the body lies languid and fragile

Aster
04:15
|

|
A maid bends to water
Poured out by a star
Tamer of lions
Aster in the palm, she opens
As before, I kneel down at the border
For the same old war
Over and over
Rain, bring me water
I can’t see or speak or hold
What comes to me
But still I drink
A knight bends to water
Poured out by a star
Light in the river
Runs into his mouth, his body
As before, I ride down to the border
For the same old war
Over and over

Did ghosts follow me home
Or do they dwell in this place
I ask for reprieve, I beg for sound sleep
I dream between the poles of living
Restless in the dark
Divide what I hold, waiting to be old, to sleep
I feel this body dying all around me
A burning building falling all around me
I never needed to be saved
A room filling with water
Drowning what I knew
It breathes in my bones, shudders as it goes to sleep
Awaken into a life
I remember what I lost
I walk through the night, to run, to take flight home
