She lets the darkness know |

She lets the darkness know her intentions. And solutions. Flitting mirror illusions -- this is not me, this is not me, she says in silent eyes. The depth is not to be dismayed, the warmless coverlet, the space between the ceiling and the floor. Shake for the reasons that you shake for. The coldest breath on back of neck -- like winter worms, tightening grip, cloying burning scented breeze lost to ice and circumstance. Did I ask you, she asks to mirror glass. Did I call for this information? Did I beg for cease of ease? And the wind answers whatever she wants it to. Tonight it's saying "No." Tomorrow it says "Yes." (more, too.) The coldest breath on back of neck -- the middle on a night-weighed staircase. The moon's a button. Focus on it as it ravels from its thread. It falls, flashing. How we know the lipless form of several words that turn the night to memories. Sensations. Yes -- this, and no. That. Fades out with the light. |

God Mikey . . . how do you make the sun and moon and star and grass and sky SPEAK? The coldest breath on back of neck -- the middle on a night-weighed staircase. The moon's a button. Focus on it as it ravels from its thread. beautiful stanza xxoo |
