Leaving golden seeds
Interred underneath
Arms that stretch for miles in the sun
Rest unduly reap
Air so sickly sweet
Fruit that falls like raindrops in my palms
Hanging heavy moon
Winter is abloom
Snow fills in the footprints of my wake
Fugitive and thief
Holding mask and wreath
Steal away with flowers in my hair
Behind ten feet of glass
Not a sound
As the shore recedes
My voice is bound
Unkempt memories
Beneath the boards
Close envelop me
Within their cords
Slowly it unfurls
Porcelain and pearl
How I’ll make a gift of it for you
Out beyond the screen
Spiraled and serene
Broken bits in coalescing streams
