rest

slightly
again at midnight
fueled by red wine and sake
I walk to the moon

a half moon smiles
on its bed of opal silk
a black velvet tapestry
within a white gold ring

—I never know what I might see
walking at midnight

overflowing

flip
outside, in shadows
colours pool in dark valleys
inside, white starlight

bridge
walking in two worlds
we will fill the space with words
silence draws deeply

missing my twilight walks
they stir something in me
only accessible
at the edge
between day and night
the air feels lighter
the restraints loosened
the mind and heart soars
while the light withdraws

then, darkness
and there is nothing left
no body
just
thought
silence
self
filling the space
to the stars

pm

crucible
I dream by the fire
eyes in the flame mesmerize
wanting to crawl in

spiraling

I have been trying not to let myself
get too lost in what/how I see
my thoughts
views/visions
as I've said
always having to look
around the next bend
in - as well as out
so easy to be seduced by this journey
I have been on it as long as I can remember
it has just become more intense lately
an expedition
a voyage
through a shimmering green sea
or the deep clear water of twilight

Visit
as I walk, I fly
to the tips of the mountains
on the edge of day

one breath, I am there
standing on the rose gold peaks
I swallow the sky
