to begin:
i have returned with the swell
an explosion of molecular fireworks
prismatic,
i am all around you

message in a bottle

why did i spin the globe like a bottle
when i preferred it with you,
a sea-salty salve to sore wounds
you've managed to stitch
close breaths into kisses
come on a transatlantic breeze

in those screaming dreams
our words are the confessions
between bodies.

we see each other

when i close my eyes
the acuity of you is all
that's left behind, a serenity
between two jades, clearly
fish out of rivers meant to be
seen, pearlescent
the first time you saw:

note: I did write this on the day of, but life has made it fairly impossible for me to be online in the last couple of days! This one is for 27/10.

telephone tag
these days everything starts with
these days
because these days
meander in the way that you do
when the distance stretches,
heart shaped silly putty
strings never snapping
a gummy line of telephone tag

i would rather whisper in your ear.

note: poem written 28.10

coping

life above land is dry
not unlike, but unlike
the soothing syrup of sauvignon blanc.
this tender selfmetamorpoiesisi have returned with the swell

What is to give light must endure burning. – Viktor Frankl

the periodic table

i am a fortune teller
anticipating dreams
into incalescent waves
salt wash cleansing old
hurts; and the sting fades
with your solidity
a king's golden touch, brazen
rends me molten
an auric change
arriving with the sunset
this tender selfmetamorpoiesisi have returned with the swell

What is to give light must endure burning. – Viktor Frankl



Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can’t fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.
