drizzle

dusk aborts the moon
a drop of oval white
into the night pool
rings push out
ripple star infinity
space ribbons highway
mythology growling future
i shut my eyes
in mothers arms
i hold my breath
and cross the waters
i bask in sun dream
warm behind closed eyes
lids of orange red hot
distant cello
peace of pure moon
dragging over heavens desert
stones skipping over
glassiness and heavy blood
forest of solitary hearts
gnashing teeth
caught in the system
the tide of sheep
puking out cycles of years
bile staining the floorboard
abortion of pale moon
i choke on
i catch love in the drizzle
in the desert
as it evaporates before
i can touch
sometimes i hear
the wind of souls
oval white
in grandfather skin
