Not a paper heart
Visited me, but also,
Not a ghost of lies

Not a paper heart
Visited me, but also,
Not a ghost of lies

Comet
Come get me
Streaming, silvery
Steal me
Garland-green
Wrap ‘round me
Shed we — now, together, we
Icy un-necessities
Comet
Please take me
Sunward, bring me
Show me
Civilization dawn
Asking, I, of thee
All the while, power me
Now to my true home

What if I
Of dust, breath, and rib
Too, picked you
— Obliterated matter, and ground-bound
And breathed
Christ-like fellowship
Into you
Stood by your side
And we walked together, thence?

Know you are loved
No matter what
No matter the blurry bygone dreams for Paris
Whether withering and feeling dry-dead
Wondering what of this salt and this sea
Pensive be
Whether you love me
I love you

…didnt wish
to intimidate you
it must
mean you
weren’t the you
you
said
you
were
but weren’t
ah, but we were younger
the wishing me, stupid, I was
the stupid you, wishing you were the you you said you were but weren’t

Fire, framed by black, black fear
Lament of the trauma years
Yet, hold hope, for truth rings clear
‘round the edges, light appears

This love is
Mammoth, yet
Expanding daily
Despite the seeming quiet of Our Universe
This love is
Consecrated, still
Asking eternally
Weren’t we Our Home?



I died at your hand
I resurrected myself
I told my story
