snowstars



cassiopeia
I saw you lying,
head tilt back to snowstorm sky.
magnetic, pulling
constellations to your bloodsoaked thighs.
Power-less and cracking
Too much the rising tides to carry.
Spooling warmth, flush and suckered
Dreamstuff never can be buttered.
traced a smile across your belly
in rampling jam with ravens feather.
Blood on snowflakes falling faster
blown pupils, stellar - hypnotiser.
Beats on wings of fallen angel
wrapped tight around you, in a vaccum.
swallow-smashed, laid bare to Tsars,
We crashed into the same stars.

almost always the case: the strings you attach to your own puppets will be perceived by the audience like something completely unrelated

I have to open you a secret: I printed this one out and will return to it on a night when power is out and there is no shadows to mask
