wintertime -the locket-

A summer's kiss and long awaited
smiles darkening into orange sun;
It's winter, here, but I am filled with
light at this four thirty-five, when
dusk has crept its way into the west.

The seasons change, we're always
c h a n g i n g
blending soft into the blurred edges of
photo lines, a polaroid for one and
ripped in two.
so which side faces right?

Our days pass slow, we're waiting with
clock snickering into our ears for spring's
enlightening thaw. But I met you in
wintertime, so maybe it's not so bad after all.

And watching colours paint themselves
upon our whitewashed walls I saw
the promise of a truth behind

I am detached, turning aside in
bed alone. Remember once you swore
you'd never strike, like python
tongues with poison falling to
the floor, I slipped. I hide my face
for ugly bruises nesting there.

I tried to stand upon my feet
myself, but winter nights and
black ice skylights keep me
tumbling towards a tunnel from
which I might not emerge. This
labyrinth, where wires
barbed and open sores are left
unbound. Follow the bread
crumbs here, my dear. Just do
not show that leering grin.
I'm scared. I'm terrified.

I don't know which wall
full of mirrors leads out, I cannot
see past all the smoke. Just take me
in your arms again,

In the Forest

An echo here falls flat, I'm barren land.
Who is around to say I ever made a dropping
thud of sound? The ears of leaves I stood
by just to reach you here turn fast to
stone, and I am yet alone.

A minute can last years, I will not
hold. With every moment I'm decaying by
the half, unable to evaporate and fold.
Go on and ask me twice if I am fine,
no, plant the pictures in my brain. It stung
for every word that screamed of pain I wreck
on those I love, and hate the pity you
inflict. Don't dramatize your past, I'm here,
today, and you don't know the metal that
parts lips to kiss each sore.

We are a nation of the unbelonging,

Stretched across a bed, crafting the words
I never mean for you to hear, I do
my best to fill the space between
my fingers where your constellations fade.
I cannot hold this air myself, no matter
how persistently I've tied balloons.
The neon stretch splits easily, I don't
know anymore just what I know.

If I could sleep and wake in spring,
rise to new light and optimism there,
I would. If I could die within a
winter snow to save you ounce of pain,
I would. I'm not sure where to turn,
I've gone from stabilising self, from
letting go to reds and metal slits, to
knowing heart beside my own, two eyes
that watch, a second mouth to c

Shipwrecked

If it wasn't this, then it'd be something
else. It seems we're at a constant tug of
war with seldom exeunt. The victory is
pyrrhic, one of both of us lay pieced
behind this mess. I cannot let it
rest.

They told me love was no small feat,
that passion does require work to shape the
fire into something hearts can tame, something
we can contain - but so far both have lost
control, and both at once. This ship is sinking
soon, and slow. Dare I abandon ship?

Get out while you still have the chance. My
lungs have filled with tar and grey salt water.
I cannot manage tears that came twofold,
one pain is quite enough. I find myself detac

An excellent photo.

I've tried to get tickets, but they're always sold out and I don't deal with street sellers.
