Let the curve of tenderness
curl around my broken heart
so as not to live
within these granite walls
Let the winds of change
peel me back to myself
and the nakedness of being
dwell inside this pounding fist
Forgive me for not forgiving
and holding onto jagged edges
Bend me like a reed
and let the waters have their will
for not to forgive brittles my bones
as torn up lives can’t breathe
shadows hang their forbidden stains
spitting poison into words
For what is it to forgive?
but to let the sweetness of the heart song
melt into the wound.

Ocean inside
waves rocking
feeling the ancient
kicking up surfaces
open mouth drinking
into the unknown
wild wind crying
shelling me from inside
I have waited
wailing into the night
have howled
from the craters of my being
have searched empty pockets
whispered into seashells
expecting you to be there
casting a
as memories fall to
under moonscape nights
& beliefs finally fade
as I wait in winters
for frost on weathered fingers

If we were to walk on frozen air
If we were warm and the dust settled
we could write our news
that holds us close
We could fold in
like animals in love
one breathing one being
our eyes shutting out despair
and feeling the sharp sense
of looming light
arrest our breath
one breathing one being
catching the fall.
DREAM WEB
15th May 2015
I awake
lightly touching this place
dreams like tangled yarn
spinning out of focus
A new bed
inside a new room
memories of where I’ve been
murmured lightly under breath
& all the ‘could have
nudging inside my crowded head
wanting
in this morning play
But I’m not here to orchestrate
I’m lingering between the worlds
with the taste of my dream
breathing me back inside
in a delicious moment of opening
becoming the space that holds all creation
dancing inside a dream web.
