TRANSFUSCIA

Peel like a shy sharp feeling
dripping like a broken wing
wheres hurry
locked down with lonely vantages

suck in a breath and look
its not so heavy
its how you bend
when the sunshine forces
master the demarcation
black
soft likea whisper
bleeding words
like Hiaku kisses

Gather stems and heal
them with dusty vases
walk dirty feet steps
and suntanned finger
welts on my gratitude
of pains you grieve
upon the copper flesh

curve the chagrin
amuse
there is fire behind
the charcoal beauty
lined and startling

you drift when you

thrive   Owning alive
copulation of madness
and sorrow

laying cooling reading
maps in cracked plaster
ceilings

seeing ghosts in all
the palmprints and
smeared passages
on the warm paint

of this cool room
