The Betrayal of Lumen
lights dance
playfully, strikingly
agile
as they waltz across
her
tear-stained, blood-drained
unlocked face
disillusionment
disillusionment

swallow back tears
past the mountain
a bitter pill lodged in my throat
acrid taste disintegrating hope
the flavor tasted over and over again
like the heartbeat in the dry, cracked skin at the end of my fingertips
a pain that cannot be hidden
a constant reminder of being too open
winter's gift
i found your lips on the ground
i found your lips on the ground
i put them to my cheek
cradled them lovingly

they spoke to me promises
in feather-light caresses
imploring

i give them back to
the crisp green grass
with tears

i don't pretend
to want just part of you
Alternatively, Zeros and Ones a measure tempered in shadows
time talks zeros and ones
speaking binary with a slip of the tongue
he divulges the rules of give and take

a salve, a killer
as he passes, he heals my heart
forces my eyes open
he knows my body
my face
gives me no respite
pulls me closer to my end everyday
and yet my heart beats a staccato
upon seeing his face every morning

i love him, i hate him
i hang upon his every word
when he talks
zeros and ones
i taste your desire in meyour breath on my cheek
shivers to my lips
races with mine
sharing moist heat
i taste your desire in me

-i hold you in my thoughts
i am opened (A Pseudo Ode to a Poet)now

soft opening
put your finger in
feel the moisture
the heated
staccato beat
of fluid expression

before

cold wasteland
fingers not welcomed
denied the dryness
the arid
withered thump
of comatic depression

then

fucking poem
fingers hands lips teeth tongue
fought for air
the decadent
pounding clack
of worded manifestation

you poet burned my fortress
ignited my voice
branded me one of you

i am opened
give me your hand
