Diving Bell
01:57
|
|

cold white space
cosmonaut
a rose, a worm, a dragon's mouth
constellate, triangulate
molten core
icy rings around
a comet coming down
cold white sea
diving bell
lost the power to propel
but might just float here for a spell

Flower Cycles

Coming for to carry me homeward after all
Coming for to bury my bones around the yard
Chalk on the fence, cherry tree roots
Here’s where the dog was sick, here’s a fishbone grave
Here’s where the leaves come in yellow in early May
Tulips and weeds, mulberry stains
Stuck like a toy rocket on the roof until
The next storm blows in and knocks me over
And carries me away
Fearless flower cycles
Looping in the dirt
Gone the space that I filled
In ruin, rage or worse

Let Me Ride
04:10

I was a bird flying in little circles
I was a whirl of wind that came out of nowhere
I was a low-sung song
I was a violent burst
I was a larval bug
In a strange form first
I was a mite in the corner of a coffin
Watching time warp the wood
I was a lure lit up on a deep sea fish
I was a smile that broke through a fever dream thrall
I was a sleepless year
I was a headfirst fall that broke just about every bone
Let me ride on
Juke and glide
Bat-winged through the blue sky
Comet-tailed in starlight
Let me ride
Swoosh and slide
Void to jet-black void
A look, a laugh
A love so vast it bends ribs
A love so vast it bursts veins
One after another

Outshone
03:46

everything all at once
nothing outshone
outlines porous
light just pours through us

Cosmonaut
02:20

|

blacks of eyes
i'm pouring through
opened mine for
a brighter view
