Face/Off
Check out me and my face at the SPL blog! Also this poem that I made!
Better Words
hear the melody of names
blood-streams incantations
sound them like a spell
shearwater meadow brown
cormorant yellowtail
go topless in saltwater
feel the blaze in the eyes
the breeze tangling your hair
fingers tangled in your hair
palmfuls of horse chestnut
explosions of jackdaws
love and grassy jeans
witch-hazel valerian
ragged robin lady’s bedstraw
god or a thing
for which there is no better
word than god
the word that says there is one life
and we are in it
on your tongue
and spreading like petals
in the palms of your hands
is this dwindling list of flowers
may it be forever autumn
One more tomorrow...
Dave.
