My mind is but
a house of cards,
its contents wildly flung;
and if madness is
a monster's mouth,
I'm caught upon its tongue.

Literature
the greatest poem
The greatest poem I’ve never read is lying in a notebook somewhere, probably in Bangladesh, written in a language I can’t speak by a person I will never hear. I’ve never seen it nor heard of it because this person doesn’t know what they have and no one knows to dig where a mosaic is laid. And in the silent space that poem leaves I tremble. I ache, like an untouched woman. The greatest poem I’ve never written is lying in my heart right now, it's gatekeepers grief and shame. It’s there because of emotions I can’t give names for fear of unlocking too much and it all flowing out like a broken dam. You have never seen flood; you have not known storm. And in the silent space that poem leaves I cry. I bleed, from my fingers and from my palms. The greatest poem that never was must be in a dead man’s heart, or a woman’s, and I think of hiring grave robbers and a necromancer but the past is a torn sheet that can’t keep us warm. Although, some things can mend. I think I could revive this
Literature
stolen by the moon
These wasting hours
Tendrils sweeping into
The light of morning
We surge
Hungry and wild
Two divided sides
Of this silver coin
Suspended in black.
Blood cries are lost
In silver moonlight.
Save your tears
Until they can fall
Beneath raindrops
Soaking into the earth
To water the children
Of the trees.

frosted glass
you need not
breathe or bloom
for anyone
but yourself
love you are
already
the brightest
thing in my life
light
waiting for light
but I know how the cold
settles in
brittling bones
and glaciating
skin
how it sometimes feels like
you'll never know warmth again
leaving you lost
in daze
opacifying gaze
with a scrim of
ice
across your
eyes
like frosted glass
love let me
stay close
until it's
passed
and though I can not
sing you
any nearer
to daylight
nor hold back
the black
I will hold you
through the night
I will
sit with you
in the darkness
for as long
as it may
last
