EXULT

 

 

We gloried in immolation.

We used each other as temples of solaceÑ

            our bodies clung

                        tangled

                                    too desperate to know we were drowning

into a gorge blinding our already blinded eyes

with airy blackness

 

 

 

blanknessÑ

 

it erodes, biting at our feet now

threatens to devour

consume

our only choice is to dive

 

                                                           

                                                            soot diffuses my veins untangle from

the crushing web of your arteries

each vessel lies end to endÑ

the long stem of glistening fruit

 

 

I cut insideÑ

vertical

 

 

slide

 

 

fallow seeds float before my eyes millions of seeds before my float fallow million seeds fallow fallow fallow seeds fallow fallow millions

 

and yet I seeÑ

 

 

 

glowing invisibly

permanent and

slippery

there is one seed

one

fertile and waiting

 

                                                            always waiting
