she moon howls outside

inside we are whisper-blind

lit up in quiet

waves of salt and ice

cracked the white egg in her nest

her wings beat sevens

curious / divine

the breath of mother maybe

purple crocus blush

this year too we pray

this year too we bellow out

hope to wake the earth

boldly travel through

rare and confusing waters

silken skin adieu

yolk blooms biggest

everything follows its lead

such gorgeous racket

odd lights dead ahead

coming gloom or firefly

old gods joust at dusk

peppercorn blue moon

oven ready heirloom pot

bake and wolf the lot

insufferable

we thought we’d live forever

flirting with the storm

holy joyful hell

are there years left or minutes?

the ghost in the bones

the big part scuttled

last scene plays under water

dive with hefted gulp

sentimental beasts

yowl as if the world will burst

kindly gallop on
