THROWING MYSELF BEYOND.

To no longer embrace the unknown.

Less to believe in,

the more I have to remain in silence.

The more I have to understand that life-

is as intimate as this afternoons

strange encounter.

THE FEMALE ZOO

FLUSHED WITH THE GOLD OF DAWN.

It doesn't matter because I found you gone.

And beyond this thick layer of silence,

you speak louder than ever.

Thinking beyond something that is already buried,

You made me vanish in love.

SECRET SENSE.

Watch the motion of my hands running past my back,

surfacing my spine.

I could close my eyes,

and think about you finding my body.

I could release an illusion of your skin appearing.

Watch this hope lay alone as I turn my back towards the light.

But my hands don't think with my mind.

COCOON.

OLYMPIA,

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

I THROW MY THOUGHTS IN HIS AIR.

I TOSS MY LONG STRIPPED NAKED HAIR IN HIS MIND.

I FALL OVER MY OWN BODY FINDING HIM STILL BY MY SIDE.

OLYMPIA,

YOU WHO UNDERSTAND ME IN THE NIGHT.

I WANT TO TELL HIM THAT MY HEART

IS THERE.

OLYMPIA,

I LOOK INTO MY OWN EYES AND SEE AN ORGAN LOST INSIDE.

NO I CANNOT DESCRIBE.

NO OLYMPIA,

THE PORCELAIN MIND.

ANOTHER WOMAN.

Of course I still think about you,

the feel of you.

You can no longer capture loss.

Along the other side of my mind I travel fast-

Following a beat of voices.

The sweet scent of magnolias.

-

You remember our magnolia minds?

Its ok- I can no longer smell you either.

The loss makes it easier to remember.

An empty stomach dosing on a growth

of one flower.

to call itself

pure.

I found myself waking up

in bed

with a thousand humming birds by my side.

s o c l o se.

What I want

Is to see you sleep

until everything hurts.

Again

What I cant have

until everything's gone.

s o f a r.

What I am

Is to be found in a bed

full of you.

Jaded lover

You are the morning

still asleep.

What I give

-

-

A golden womb

that gives birth

to everything

sleep needs.

PASSING THE NOTEBOOK IN BED.

We laid vertically hanged across the room.

Obsessive hands

masturbating one another

tied to the bed.

My breasts leaned across his body

Overpowering

the flavours of sex.

WALKING BECAUSE ITS PURE OUTSIDE.

DRAPED IN BEAUTIFUL COLORS.

SHE ENTERED THE ROOM OF SPRING.

WITH BLACK AND GOLD LOCKS ACROSS HER HAIR.
