a stone and a stick
stone wind on a plane
i know you want to:
change your fate as black as slate to want to go
to play and to pray
and go fly away
catch a leg inside a claw a yawn to beg
what if I turn grey?
you ask of the day
sailing on a pin:
fortune and a fly distract a scratch and as for me
and when your soft palms
come down on the rain
nails pulling a:
part the bark the tree the ghost the half moon
“all too true I sleep half the day
come full moon I’ll watch over your breaking heart and wait…
even as you fall into snores
chasing dreams on the edge of your haunted love contours”
…a stone and a stick
a rib and a bone
whisker whisper
“even though i sleep half the day,
come full moon I’ll watch over the way to wake you soon
even as I fall into purrs,
keeping one ear in tune to the wondering of you”
a rib and a bone
like water and stone
you can’t deceive:
kiss me then to calm the sad unsaid
whisker whisper
crowding the bed
kick to the head:
find me when i count to ten!
