soul-kind


what once was
alludes & binds
a heavy cape of velvet blurs the royal lines
Oh what celestial ink creates this Nebraska-blue?
   veiled in dawn's aubergine new
golden sure this day 
wild moon bright
origami sparrow flying white
oh .....
be careful and wise as wishes do come true:
folded

tucked 
along 
sorrows rue
kaleidoscope seasons 
turn and go ... turn and go
as the dreamscape of want simmers
       then slows 
invisible we become
beige'd to beige
wallflower silent--Einstein's sage
touch yourself
first there!  .... then
                open the vein
and
wake the lost!
ghosts of euphoria tinder the frost
cloaked and hidden I walk thru walls
sweeping up the storylines
our story .... my story 
inked between nights
of
golden fields bloom against legends of light
the cut sharpest at the cold snap of morning bright
while bent
and
mending
the singed edges of
my velvet weighted warming
intent thickens the bones
in the heart of the clear
forgiveness fills the corners
as
moon-shadows drip near
to waken 
to walk 
to be seen through the briar
to lie with the dragons of crystal blue fire
