Books of the EarthIf I could see the souls of people; a glimpse of smoke, of steam,Books of the Earth
of light.
The words you would speak do not echo in me,
like the tell-tale
songs of your eyes.
Listening as your heart beats in time, one-two-three. Forever I hear
the metronome
that keeps you in beat with the world.
I ask;

Tide PoolPlay that wondrous tune, accordion sing-song to our hearts,Tide Pool
while we dance across the embers.
We sing of what once was,
becoming now what is- we revisit ourselves every night. Our joy cannot be contained behind closed doors.

The Faithful's CradlesongI.The Faithful's Cradlesong
With dust scattered over my eyelids I exhale the static cobweb of lovers entwined by the flames of fingertips: the frantic heartbeat of the sun rings loudly in my ear.
II.
Streetlamps and hail-breath,
black throats and midnight whispers; I roof our tombstones with all of my Summers.
Fear not, oh heart of mine, Winter's thousand tongues and lullabies soaring hither and thither as their saps kindle at our feet, for my heart drums along the labyrinth of your skin:
