Time Will Make Things… clear.

With blood on my hands, I stand still in a field

Still like leaves growing, still like lungs breathing.

I don’t know what I’ve done. I don’t know where I’ve been.

I ask myself, “Who’s blood is this and why?”

     Before I start to cry, the clouds clear and I can see the Coyote Moon. As I stare to the stars I begin to remember.

     Stars are just lights to remind us the earth is round.

We live where we eat and we eat where we sleep. 

The blood is of my Father.

glistening words

Jump off my tongue, the words that I say

     Maybe mean, but all holy and true.

When things are on my mind, you know.

          Between teeth and conversations

I can say: I care the least.

When you see my eyes turn red, you know the moon is full.

I like it when it’s cold.

While the seasons change, the sidewalk cries

When the leaves reach the grass, the ants all hide

The branches are a dead kind of grey and the sky

Reminds me of a cold bubble bath I took in May.

When nothing makes noise, when everything is still:

Winter brings us the joy of being alone.

Into the abode we go, to hide and huddle from the sky’s snow.

Kiss my nose to keep the cold away.

She.

She lets the ocean do her hair and the has the sun wake her up.

She smells the flowers before dawn and flies with the birds.

She allows the weather to choose her mood and the color of her hair.

tonight's viiiibe brought to you by hozier

And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain

My nose is freezing.

Here we go

Here we are

Here we were

Birch tree hours

The lion devours

Sweet secrets off

Your honey lips

Cobble stone chapters

Children with no laughter

Eagerly awaiting the KING.

Here we were

Here we are

Here we go

You cant’ get away with murder

Tie your laces with the strings from my lonely heart

While the river rushes in, washing over our

Thursday Thoughts. When the skull hits the nail,

You know she will have brown eyes. Sweep up

The webs and the tears for your Mama will be

Here. Before we know it the moon  will tell time

And the sun will sing songs. When there is nothing

Else to do, just remember how to dance.

Simple.

Surrounded

Buried

Drowning

Guilt

Secrets

Lies

Alive

Dying

Dead

mortal moon ride 

Peel back the layers of my eyes to see the world inside

Recollection of laughter sit aside the coleslaw

Toes scattered while the wood floor creaks

Grandmother is in the bath, full of blood

Dead.

The ship will arrive

ON TIME ON TIME

The kids will cry

ON TIME ON TIME

The flags will sway

ON TIME ON TIME

We are off

ON TIME ON TIME

Coffee bombs, butter earrings and midnight moths.

I remember my mother told me, to love all dead things

When the moon shines in, when the weather is just right

Our windows are dressed with cobwebs and our lights are

Pretty dim. The attic door is the color of our barn.

You know it’s time for bed, when the candles go out and

The music starts to play. And then you start to sway. Your

Mind goes to heaven while your body floats above the bed.

When I was little I wanted to be a flower, strong yet

Beautiful. I call the cracks in the walls house veins and

The ceiling fans dad. When the backyard pond turns

Yellow, grab the kayak and let’s paddle to the  WolfMoon.

Just to reminisce on the times we had before 
we were born. 

coming soon.........

1 thirteen 3.
the sky seems like a good place to hide our dreams

the trees and their bees can hold my secrets.

i feel free when my toes touch the dirt and the sun

shines down on me.

ZOOOoooOoOoOom out and see the planet

Blue, like untucked.

Silly things like bubblegum keep us afloat.

Sometimes I want to break your nose.

Roses grow from your eyes and brain-

To bring the light and make it bright.

Dinners spent over candlelight are

The nights my human brain remembers.

The clock on the wall brings me back to

My grandmother’s living space. Cluttered

With dolls and knick knacks, the spiders

Find an easy place to call home. Cigarettes

Stick to the wallpaper like mice run in

The cornfields. When the mail arrives

Please dry the rice and bring the dog in.

Children from down the road gather

Around the backyard tree. Today will

Be the day they put, Richard to rest.

School is for the children and money is

For the poor. When honey comes from

Bees you know you have a gift.

LONG NAILS.

I could care less about your shoes

And more about your heart.

Close your eyes, open your mouth

And listen to what she says.

Wisdom sits upon the tongues

That laugh. Where flies have

Ears and children have beards.

Pour a beer for the pilot and i,

Tonight is going to be a long night.

How many times can you blink before the moon rises?

I cut my hair to forget about you

The smell reminded me of our Sunday Mornings

                                Trying to let go, like trying to drive straight.

The moon light comes in; I open the door to dance.

Where the light bugs sing and the moon hands out smiles,

My heart belongs inside of this child. Home is here, here is there.

The soul of a grown woman hides behind young eyes.

Between my toes.

I live where it rains

It rains where I live

The trees make sense

And my head is full of sins

Smoke in my eyes- help me

Catch that fly.

Want to join 

me 

for 

supper

?

Don’t waste time

The ink from my heart,

Writes the love letters

I send to you every month.

Hear my rose tongue,

That wants to speak to

You. Heal the pain of

The unknown, with

The smell of fresh

Lemongrass and

Thoughts of yesterday’s

Rain. When it rains here,

It rains.

here we can sleep.

Deeper than the starfish

Hollow as a bird’s nest.

Lick my freckles and

Hold my hand. This

Place is scary, if  you

Let it in. The winter

Seems some kind of

Blue, as the years

Rush by. The radio

Sings, while my

Wine dances

With

Me.

The age of Saturn’s rings

Kiss my lips with whispers

Above the sky, angels cry

Spinning on its axis the

Earth smiles. As the ship

Begins, we start to sink.

EYE.

Bring my cities with the fleas

Bring my coffee with the ice

Mow her lawn past midnight.

I ONLY EAT RICE.

There is.

There is hope for us, which lives under the covers

On a rainy day, my room fills with love

For coffee, love for you, the stars bring the light.

When lakes become my body and your heart sinks to

The very bottom, take my hand and walk with me.

Make my love sea, believe again. Bring the clouds

With you, behind you the birds wait. The day will

Come before we kiss again. But always remember,

I loved you.

clouds

Where the sun doesn’t go, where the sun doesn’t know

The flowers grow in between.  The river flows, the water

Drowns out the thought of me thinking and us kissing

Under the cemetery tree. Where lines become roads

And roads are where we walk. The Earth is a great place

To shave your mind and drink tea

Oh( LOVE )Eight

I see where the moon goes to sleep

I can taste the stars upon my eyelids

Kiss the Milky Way from my mouth

And say you love me.
