darkling – do you know
the moth whose
sandalwood wings
wait for the moon
has your eyes on them?
do you know my pens all bleed in your house
and then repair themselves?
and that this dark knight son
was sent to be your protector?
(he will save you
again and again.)
you know
this vertical beach you sleep in
whose blocks are sleeping dogs –
do you cut your hair so this can’t tumble
from its turrets? (ha!)
(a rain of Rumpelstiltskins.)
do you know your beauty’s
more immutable than
bone and skin can catch?
your words, indestructable?
we your lovers love you,
expanding the chambers of all our hearts.
do you know you’ve
turned this New Year’s Day
into a storm of butterflies?
do you have any concept of this?
believe me!
a secret.
you
are
perfect

J-Jewel. You seem to be on a roll. This is another great one. It begs for music - like the kind Skip Spence made on Oar. Very inspiring to a wet sponge in the dark such as meself.

Arr thanks mate. Anytime you wanna write music to me words just go ahead and do so. Much obliged. Have actually cowritten a bunch of songs in the past with various bands but not currently rubbing shoulders with songwriters much. Bloody poets everywhere, dropping out of the trees.
Working on a book of love poems. Although just broken up with lover this afternoon. Am bloody-minded.
