The elegance
Of stardom’s rush
To stoop
And look to find
My own hollows
Flush

GLOWING
Truth in strands
Comes dashing low
Over bent fields
Solemn
We glow

DARTS
Anthems of peace
Breakneck speed
In deepest sheets
Of sleep
And code
Parameters breached
By me
This girl?
This lord
Unfurls
Trains tugging hearts
I’m on that sideline
Apart
I’m singing
Words
Our darts
Our greatest art

RUIN
Pantaloon excursions
Into a wayward moon
Thoughts drift on forever
Coming soon to ruin

MAKE A WISH
Tread where you wish to go
Keeper of fools
Pennies we throw
Go lower
Down deep
We hope
With weak
Custom
In the bottom
They grow
Only we
Toss our dreams
To darkness below
And blow out
Our blessed sight
With candles
For wishes granted
In years
Our gains, once gold
Flip fast
Melted
In sorrow

FOREVER
Spectral matter
Ageless powers
In the gloom
Shapeless rooms
Ancient flumes
Don’t come too soon
The time
Has many moons
And cycles of bloom
Of tides on shores
Of air so pure
Beings vast
Shall endure
Ageless powers
In the gloom
Shapeless rooms
Ancient flumes
Don’t come too soon
The time
Has many moons
And cycles of bloom
Of tides on shores
Of air so pure
Beings vast
Shall endure
