S p a r e

Wondering casually

if the door is locked

then wondering

'what is casual ' ? 

Along with a flash of gratefulness

for warm gloves, boots

and hooded jacket,

the door opens.

Perhaps 'casual'

is my memory

finally

recalling the hidden spare key

as thoughts to lock out life

have already prepared for recovery.

  

Terrarium

Don't have to have these imprints, so long ago,

'just a silly crazy girl '.

Much better for you,

a safety checklist - 

Side effects,

cold stone-walls,

full-plate stalls.

Little chapters
for prisoners of shame -
we're all the same.

Each morning

film reels,

"Fragile wreckage;

Avalanche! Steer clear!" 

of the temperature controlled glass terrarium.

Spare time for broken hearts
taken from youth,

I don't want to know
what was understood.
 

Invisibly Temperate

Is there incandescent wind,
a gentle brilliance? 

Fresh, calm truth
invisibly temperate

filters in
where nesting remains.
 

Dive Into the Earth

Each stare,
a suspended teardrop

Too heavy
for this eyelid
pasted shut.

Anguish tide,
this shattered, scattered, terror tide!

Bellowing, violently enveloping
innocent breath, Oh!

Oh to dive into the earth
from whence it came,
for to implode mercy.
 

Let us dive!
