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?
