Commencement

 

the day
always starts with tears;
the dawn is crying

morning weeps
staining the grass with lamentation
and trembles on her knees
at the edge of the valley

 

 

Messages

 

alchemists
turn blood to money

talk of their own failures
more easily than of others’ goals

and teach us only
what we need not comprehend;

our minds go dead
with the fatigue of emptiness

 

 

Haunted Weave

 

the act
of knitting my life gray,

a goblin clicking gibberish

has caused
unraveling that trails

and tangles me in the frayed past

the air
never answered to my reach

it never will reply, I guess

yet still
it is there to reach to

and always will remain, I know
