embers of a new dawn

Let us witness

The blood

of an old sun

sleeping

slipping into

ink

wait

with unbeating hearts

unbreathing

unliving

for a fraction

of emptiness

an inbetween

when life takes on

the gravity of death

when death

is life

when a butterfly

reminisces

the safety of a pupa

when fishes for a

moment become

Birds

when your head

aches

your heart

thinks

When out of the

abyss a new sun

etches

a new day

let us be embers

of a new dawn

i will whisper

I will whisper my heart 
to the river
sail a boat my soul
on wishing winds
let the world bleed my veins
they will only see a tiny name
the sky riddled with stars
let it die
I will open wide the maws of my soul
and spew a universe 
that has become me

wordleaves

wordleaves
leave the tree
me
golden fingers
caress their fall
warm the frail
beings
breathing
memories of
life
brown brittle
they seep the veins
of earth burrowing
into its soul
till through white veins
flow into the trunk
of my being
and I flower leaves
of green words
come alive with the
breeze
