supernova

she not no big bang
supernova
firework display

love for her?
it the slow start
of lightin’ fire

that burns
only for you

dreaming

I woke up dreaming
in the haze of a half-lit morning
your name was on my tongue
a desire to be known filling me

“I want you to notice...” Creep by Radiohead

two a.m.

a brief interlude
of wakefulness

a heart once heavy

tactile, her fingers

touch, everything

everywhere, overlong

savouring

on the fence ‘tween

a cacophony

of quiet, un-mindful

stimulation

overwhelming

and the cool, deep of a

white space

calmly she thrives,

through joy dipped

in sorrow, a heart

once heavy

freely gives

dans le bois or the ant queen

of streams

trickling

through woods

on the water

light ripples;

minuscule her realm

is deep

and far

———————————

de l'eau
qui coule

dans les bois

de l'eau ondule

sur la lumière;

minuscule son royaume

est profond

et loin

once, we were warriors

shat-

tered  reformed

re-

formed joy dip-

ped

in sorrow

she lives

in light

where they rest in dark

in youth we three fought

for our place in the world

to identify as self

to proclaim I am here

I exist

please love Me

amidst the others

and so we sought

once,

we were warriors
