A Season Apart
A premonition
A definition…
Life tearing away
From patchwork and muted gray
Stolen back, and given meaning…
A turn out of season…
Black Birdblackbird
there's a Blackbird
in the cage of My ribs
I can hear His song
All night long
and when He sings
the air it shatters
Blackbirdthere's a black bird
in the cage of my ribs
i can hear his song
all night long
and when he sings
the air it shatters
like a thousand shards of glass
Blossoms
We are garlands
Hung on the crown of death
Bursting ephemeral worlds
With the exit of our breath
We are the blossoms
Of no one
Europe's Green RemnantsThrough Europe’s green remnants,
Sun-stained and imperial
The trees rise, flag banners in gray skies.
The scars of soil, and agenda
And words written-against flesh
And here in the darkness
We blur, we blend, and we mesh…
Flowers Under GlassThe killer took the hand of the small child
And pulled roses from her smile
“Is this how you keep your flowers?”
“Under glass, no beauty can endure…”
And we watched from a lonely starch white bed
And you put your hands to mine
“Can you still feel these holes?

Great Mother Emptiness
Great Mother Emptiness
Arches and smiles
There is vacancy amidst her white teeth
There is removal in the folds of her body
The stars echo and disappear
Leaving in their wake
The signs and sigils of her name
Horizon
I’m tired
And into this night I slip
While blue branches
Break against the sky
The shadows pass
And the emptiness fills
While blue branches
Hunter of EchoesWe are torn here
On this roadway
In this corroded year
We are born there
This falls away
Gone-bone-bare
And when you said

Nidanida
into the heart of the woods
the light of the sap the face of all things good
in a blue church in Nida
I held Your hand
Your fingers entwined with mine
listen! they are bringing fire
Seedseed
you better beware my boys
and you best take care my boys
there's a Reaper in the field
with hands of night
you better come here my boys
and you
The Parting SongOh let me go, let me dream for a while
Let me rest in the angels of your smile
Oh let me go let me wander in thought
Let me rest in the grace I have sought
So hold me, statue-bare and full of grace
The ways wind, the birds call
Tonguesthe Word now falls back into silence
into starry, muted skies
fallen to fragmented expressions
He weaves His crown
He weaves it alone
and late into the night
in the empty hours the nothing hours
I burn Your Name bright on my tongue
Weep NotWe have seen
The pregnant skies,
Give birth to clouds
Give birth to lies…
We have seen
this haunted earth
lost beneath
West of EdenAll along the garden’s edge
The boundaries burning
Atop the blackened sedge
The angels chained
Their eyes become cruel
As they raise the iron rod
To enforce the golden rule
When Winter ComesWhen winter comes
And our smiles slow
And the thin limbed trees
Raped of autumn’s glow
Echo empty prayers
Through the still grey air
When winter comes
Wounded Stagwounded stag
Your Words are fire and honey
spoken in the voice of the Wounded Stag
no hunter shall trap the flesh that feeds All
in a night as black as forests
by means of entrails and birds and stars
held out on an olive branch
Your Lily White HandsNow its springtime again
And the sparrows descend
And your lily-white hands
Well they reach out to me
And your lily-white hands
They’re all that I see
They’re all that I see…
