In Blur
In blur, father Glanced over stirred Imagined you laughing Muddied feet dancing What is this aching prism? This prison wincing Receiving sudden swaths of dogma Wandering over royal yonder Wandering over flooded ground again What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold? What does daylight look like? Solitude and falling into respites now In blur, hovered Accepted devotion Unearther, bleeding ark of creation… Who are you now? Forgive the trembling love, I’m weak and acting bold And alone

Buried secrets Mythic meanings in tender oceans spilling crimson A leaking thimble flowing fragile Oozing tension into blue Hear these howls hurling our present I know what this costs us Hear these howls Embrace the gnashing I know what this costs us I know it’s exhausting you Without you, I am hushed A hush like cloaking garments over shivers In this honeyed season, why are the boys bleeding? Have your tears touched someone’s eyes tonight? Now I see you’re weeping with reason

Quiet as a cradle, I laid in a middle night drift, spinning Hissed at the moon Conjured up the flowers to fix my impression of the gloom I feel them all Great mass of color flooded in my bed I feel them all Great mass of color flooded in my bed Dissolving into red Half awake holding my ghost in the morning Sunlight coming down the bend Maroon sky on the send My great former terror When trees gave doves the leaves and I was grim drunk death— a stranger to myself I feel them all Great mass of color flooding in my bed I feel them all Great mass of color flooding in my bed Dissolving into red Can I accept I’m real? Do I need this affection? Do you? Do you need this confusion? Do you? Living trapped inside this body Soft, haunted, waiting, wanting Measured change evades real healing Taking love with little reason Seeing you as I was: behind a locked door, nervous and a fool Seeing you as I was: desperate for men to guide you You are the sea and nobody owns you
