Zone

Asked no answer, 

No reply creaked downy 

Coverlet aside or soft awakened

Muffled cry. No shoulder rub, nor clutches

Taken, stealthy glances gathered, no; no

Sigh for dream encountered found

Or hand on hand a morning cold

Abolished now as each

In amity must go.

File

Altogether paced, replaced
Oft worn and aft, or scarred
Rough blemished, brought to
Bearing, fought by tor, or boulder,
Cleft, bereft of fancy, trudging on
Upon a tundra fresh and
Sparing none.

Tuck

Some spaces feel like
Home, though not my own,
Or even close, but someone's
Refuge, curled and toasty,
Mild and wanted, someone
Loves here, comforts here, and finds
An impact, reason, justifies a
Word of worlds. Some
Places just embrace
And wait.

Flow

Honey, sail away with

Golden, starry glass in hand

And ride wild serpents, cling

To none, just slide and 

Hide, atomies behind by
Crudely rendered

Sideways lines.

Flinch

Asunder
We are over
Ribbon knot undone
And sober, salient, and
Weary, search for
Balance, search
For meaning, for
A reason, three, or
Twenty, I
Abandoned that impairment,
Fled in angered visage, after
Rant and wailing, failed to make you
See, that though your shoulders
Quaked and eyes afraid, I
Meant to render comprehension
Not to frighten, but
Awaken
You
Withdrew and shrank from
Fist of fury,
Villain I, but
Did I ever
Swing?

Siber

Roundhouse hefts of frozen flay

Awake, astonish iris bright as

Azure, open gaping crater steals,

Ravishes away breath puffs and mind

Leaves only moment, being.

This

and Here

and what is Now?

and I and All 

and nothing is the same.

13 point 1

...and on.

Drear, though I signed up

For this. Paid up

For this, I lag. A limp

A sip, another shade-wisp

Desert's winter chill a bliss

A stirring drum beat chorus,

Times with heart thuds, jars,

A friendly shoulder by, a flash

Did I smile? Did I make the fancy

Face to show, to keep a

False-laid memory enjoyed, 

Save pained intensity, what

Madness brought this anguish

Begged and traveled, cried to 

Pace, to place in pointless 

Phoenix race?
