I’m a bard, essentially, so my poetry blog is dedicated to:
for June 2022. In Love With A Cactus I’m in love with a cactus, that took so long to flower before my eyes in this dry, jailed heat that releases my tears, lifting to feed the hungry air shared. A clean sun bakes us in dusted kiln, apart, glazing with fear to touch your skin. Will I bleed? Will you need me love again, harder, deeper, impale my love on stoic arms of nails? I’m in a canyon, scaled down a lifetime to reach, to near your precious core. Why do I question anymore? Seasons beneath each pale moon rush past, silent stealth gone before I rise. My eyes crust and crack open, long for any tender touch to wake. The days had just begun, soared, nearing in this descent. No other use for these ailing arms, knowing I must squeeze with all my strength. Breath vacates deflated lungs. When young, had I seized the chance, I’d climb. Good for you that I fear falling, our story with no arc or acts — just brilliant, magnetic curtains stars pierce, gases fueling a radiant sundown. 6.2.22 6.6.22 edit Screw stanzas, line breaks. Keep your nose to the grindstone, pry for meaning. Hmm. |
