Collapse Us

There is story curled up in the chest.
Like a wooden cask, honey filled.
Oh! labyrinth into the heart of things,

Collapse us into love.

Even belly deep in babushka nights,
this long road unfurls us.
Face in the raindrop, river to the sea.

Collapse us into love.

Still, humanity coalesces,
borders open, a world walks in.
Our realizations sit fresh and fragile,

Collapse us into love.

Sometimes sorrow brings a truer moon,
and we dissolve like mist in wind.
Surrender rides a waterfall.

Collapse us into love.

Today, hallelujah brushed a winter sky,
a pilgrim peace of pewter day.
Into maelstrom of wren song, Fibonacci curls,

Collapse us into love.

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.
