prayer

i am shortened by your immense

sideline eyes i am elongated by how

we fell in distance love. we faced

forward in our fury and neglect came 

as a ruined temple seated in our

runaway lap. lowercase tears

manifest in his heavy hands and    

carefree fallens. stale fatigue

runs deep through our veins .

read me your cares and ill

façade your worried palms

and disappear with everything 

and nothing.

loud skin

we are loud and indispensable

we are air of breaths taken

last and water that rain did not

hug while coming down. serpents

of indigo hues manifest our errections

and our posture is now complete.   

shadow home

i shared my clouds with you 

and before we touched

faith with our sceptical 

fists; the devastation sung

us a lipid  lullaby. fragmented

eyelashes done wrong by 

our wits end and the first

shooting star aligneds with 

her innocence. peeled off 

notions leave us motionless

and unto the next ever after;

we are all the seasons' 

face down
