Isthmus

A beautiful waterfall at the end of the earth
To die at each night
A new hell to emerge from the next day
Breathless and gasping with cumulative naivety

If every journey has a thousand beginnings
May my hell and your waters meet
To form new land
That I may walk for the first time

Elixir

It begins somewhere
In the forgotten chambers of a quiet mind
Rebirth from the aftermath
Of decadent disobedience
The origin of a single silver seed
Mercury from manure
Dancing among decay
Like a candle in a crypt
To be kept safe and savoured
Sustenance for the slow crawl
Back from ruin

Shadowfabric

Sure footed stumble up
Cobblestone in fog
Dead slow on sacred soil
Skulls and souls sacrificed
Strewn among trident and saffron

Linger through the howls
Bask in the curiosity
Feel the eyes
In every crevice
And the rocks
For secrets

And be brave
It will be morning soon

Herbal Verbs

A decade late for the masquerade
Still softly spoken
Her words spin around
The turbulence at my crown

Gentle Gardener talk and tend
To the glimmering want weight around my head
Plant your seeds and take your time
Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme

Ethereal

All together

Afterlife

Ageless

Full of music and stories

Of our parents and theirs before

Standing together on the sands of time

Like sunflowers
