I. Cosmosis
you are the little blue pill
i swallow
diving into madness
you become my abyss
i am swimming in your chaos
drowning
in the torrid
tumult
the air undulates insanity
orbiting
in exhaled flame
like stars
your gravity compels me
colliding
into timeless space
we consume the light
II. Undeclared
we are unresolved
a weighted branch
heavy and aching
in its own
pride
i am unrepentant
in my sins
as the unintended
wander
an untrodden place
the snow falls
silent
on the cedars
hiding our
transgressions
under
frost.
III. Wild Things
The wild things
Are within us
A special breed
of savagery
Reserved
For lovers
In the dark
Spaces
Wind howls
Beneath the trees
Lost
In the pines
I am shredded
Through.
IV. Secrets
billowed boughs hide her
transgressions
veiled
amongst the pines
in deep
array
knees grinding
blood
into the soft
ground
beneath falling
limbs she
creeps
crawls
hands to earth
the trees
exhale
her in rhythm
the rhyme of her
sin
echoes
like faint cries
on
a
distant
wind.
V. Falling
your air is clear
tight
precise
i am a stranger here
wayfaring
the slipstream
dreaming your
rhythm
in the
breakdown
dawn.
VI. Surfacing
a fallen air
winds
through the creek
swirls
in dark circles
over grey
we count shadows
one tick two
like passing cars
my face cupped in
your hands
sipping cold breath
like wine
VII. Briar
Drinking dark like
wine
in a slow-drip
trip
slipping threadbare
walking low among
tall oaks
in the haze of
a dream
with the scream
rolling up my
lungs
catching
in my teeth
as a sigh
