seaming

breathing in the world's

exhaust

spiritually numb 

and lost

on a train to somewhere far

the ones for whom i truly burn

amid the rising gale

took some time to disappear

your words still somehow resonate

i never will be ruled by fear 

the days and nights somehow equate

to the truth of who we were before

as torrents rise and colour sun

between us exists a two-way door

come heaven or oblivion

a breath on glass describes 

the heart

bereft of what the soul prescribed

to start

again the tunnels outnumber fields

along this failing line

I choose the way that loving yields

e'en thus we bleed sublime

unto whichever ends that we can

dream

through whichever door we move and

seam

now playing music, words

and time

we bleed the fabled thirds

sublime

amid tumult and the bloated

thin

comes measure-coated

theremin






 


the way

thought i heard your heart again feels like something's there in deserts lovers must sustain like promise on the air  streaming on the e...
