no drafts

of purple skies.
yet, grey cemented fingertips 
held tight to my fractured ankles. 
i devote my black lines to 
you now. I relinquish my pains 
in hymes and otherness rhyming. 
im structured in the carved howls
and linger in paragraphs of
pain.

i miss you.

i am swiss skies without 
holes;
just opaque grey clouds 

layered with tears.
layered with tears.
layered with tears.

without furry breathes 
or hearts beating
or capitals.
no more lies no more lines 
no more waves unkind. 
just what we had with stamps 
approved by your limitless 
sighings of settling.
i am swollowed whole
and yet, 
there are our yets,
waiting to dry.
compression tears. 
moiste kiss. 
there you are, Zen.

i am free in
you.

heat beats

heartbeats in my palms  with tiger sky skin and tanned eyes with red clouds.  heaven sent another angel and Zen breathed again.  love slathe...
