a watched rain never falls, alone in our many rooms craving left-aloneness, stem overgrown with thought seated in lotus position, we map the erasure of more rivers

rowing three hours each way between them, between us, to get to your degrees of fidelity allowing the eye permission to lick

think we’re coping better with crop failures though sometimes we want to murder the fruit, unpeel what is peeled, see I never know how to hold what’s dying

in spite of my ghosts go scuttling in party shoes, go scuttling eyes wrapped in sheets unsaying dharma, unsaying breath is better

green tea and dharma mixtapes who said my breath will warm your wrists gashed on broken plastics

I am almost her lint magnet, stem the heart with fluff, dust mites fed on skinflakes

if the rain would pile upon itself harvested well, a new breath in conversation

lotus position, take stem apart

our misprision, we still plant the heart, craving left aloneness, crop failures, watched rain, listening for glib echo

diminished kiss, break with the room, don’t dusk, be spilt, wear blue on blue days

Your style is always original and captivating, rather complicated at times too which really makes me go back on certain sentences and stanza's to try and comprehend all thats being said or not being said, I think thats what poetry should do. Its alive at any rate!

I had images of a haunted mansion on a rainy day in someone elses mind. :|
 
Like RareForm said...amazing descriptions, but I also saw a glimmer of lost hope in the poem...if that makes sense?
