Two Brothers Frame a Yellow Door

my breast pocket is full of moons
they rise and fly each morning
i stand beside you, we touch crowns
and two brothers frame a yellow door

they rise and fly each morning
where heroes surface like cream
and two brothers frame a yellow door
in moments perfect - almost here

where heroes surface like cream
there a muddy track churns red
in moments perfect - almost here
we douse our lamps to save the night

there a muddy track churns red
i stand beside you, we touch crowns
we douse our lamps to save the night
my breast pocket is full of moons

Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend

  Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend And life a faithful pillow - a pillow to go flat, a spirit to drift off,  glaciers to melt and raise the sea. The blueprint is clear - Expect a tiny storm of mercy–  full of crows and bottle flies to debride the corpse,  to tithe the land.      And respect the putrid demise - things that fall apart make space for miracles.   Yet there persists the memory of breath rinsed in lavender and salt air. Then the dreams for blood and semen to revive, to metabolize  every tired, sad gospel into a hatch of octopus. Death confesses everything as she conjures her necrosis, as she feigns redemption, fools us with false devotion. She believes our defiance will set her free.   We must let grief to be the thread and needle to darn the rend, renew the cloth. then we can grasp the nascent green of winter wheat in spring.
