seven words are stars in space
seven thoughts, pearls of grace
seven deeds, working hands
seven secrets, grains of sand
seven hopes, dragonflies
seven fears, an owl’s cries
seven knives, words most cruel
seven balms, for i’m a fool

Poem 20141118
These dark pixels
Resemble
Splotches of ink
Themselves poor substitutes for thick, heart-heated blood
These pixels
Dance down the screen
These blackened bits of light
Whisper into your ear
With a hand pressed warm against your shoulder blade
The fingers light upon the rise in your neck
With a tickling breath on your cheek
And a meaning that you can feel
Crawling inside you
Though you can’t make out a single
Word
