be not



far from the inconsolable-

charcoal-hushed-horizon

my uncertain dusk companion


i think you thru’ the slow inky

trees, thru the shadowed latticed

fingers, tiny as shivers


thru’ the weird eerie worlds

i trace distorted footsteps in,

cell by awkward cell


there lamented cinemas of

living pile up in contemplation

in silver selfish arenas


where unkempt weeds

position their thumbs

and white hostile toes


where silhouette shaped

i build your bones, moans

glows and all


house me in your static

or in the cranium delved

with twenty billion stars


pigments of you coming

make the body i don’t

own rushed in


topple rainbows they can’t

outdo the eye or the mosaic

spiral therein


you are my only colourful

my only synapse reflection,

rid the mirror’s rejection


exact me nightly

shoulder up to the

dream’s unfurling smoulder


give me your pumice

bleak shore, edges

submerged sleeps under


continue perfect voiced

that every word resonates

shimmer, then shudders


be not i

would stride

pointless -


sinister mills

dead occupied

meadows


scarecrows in

blank crow-less

fields


a whisperer

without throat or

lung gifts


whose to manage

me thru out aphid

infected summers?


worsens me until

lifetime appears

ghostly


appears

translucent

pale and receding
