Crosses In the Sky
(who)
Is eyes
(dismantled)
Crosses in
The sky
(until)
Only the
True bones
Of eternity remained
Dream Peril
(cold)
In your clutches –
All alone again
Mirror Thirst
(who)
Is angel
(is)
My mirror
(dripping)
Down the stairs
In layers
(shape)
Of the invisible
(who)
Is angel
(knows)
No tongue
(ranting)
Into rave
(black)
As thirst
Sight Lines
(kisses)
Along my cuff
(edge)
Of dreams
(tickle)
The light
(in)
To waking
Woman Veil
(tonight)
Each charred page
Of wind
(is)
Another poem
Covered in
The bruised veils
Of your eyes
Electric Review
