the moon can but watch
these winds raw my sky
shadow-drunk and frantic
my bitter skin screams
language is a diamond
crushed to rust
like milk
shot through with summerless blood
whispering is wax music
floating and leaving no trace

the moon can but watch
these winds raw my sky
shadow-drunk and frantic
my bitter skin screams
language is a diamond
crushed to rust
like milk
shot through with summerless blood
whispering is wax music

growl, air
those secrets bleed blue
broken, concrete, ghost embraces–
they haunt this prisoner
caramel-eyed liquid angels
fire is breath is magic
windows are voices are eating
