Poem: “Room Of Light” (2007)
Floor. Ceiling. Walls of light. My shadow seeps into my skin. My shape is lost to my eye. Floor. Ceiling. Walls of light. A motherless, fatherless point of shadow— God, the memory of sleep, recoils. I am behind the metal door. My spirit springs to your eye.
Published as lyrics for GODHEADSCOPE’s A City Out Of Sight LP, 2007.
Poem: “Get Up” (2010)
Get up out of your corner. Digging at rocks and shattered nerves won’t lift you up. Get up out of your corner. My fallen child, what have you become? You used to be a little god— self-determined, or so you believed, as you danced on the edge of a blue crisis. Get up out of your corner.
Published as lyrics for Cindervoice’s Before the Turn LP, 2010.
Poem: “Forget To Grieve” (2014)
I still lie on my side of the bed. The dog still curls in the place she curled when she curled behind your legs. Her ears stand up at every sound and my heart leaps to meet you. I am aching for the day I forget to grieve. The column of moonlight from the window over the bed illuminates every speck of dust; every memory overhead. Every moment I think of you is a moment I won’t sleep. I am aching for the day I forget to grieve. I still lie on my side of the bed. The dog still curls in the place she curled when she curled behind your legs. You were the reason I looked ahead. Now the future haunts my dreams. I am aching for the day I forget to grieve.
