Three Poems by Me
These poems were originally published in Issue 4 of Orange Blush Zine. Go give it a read.
On the Wire
she’s fervent
like a hissing wire
like a cut wire
lashing its current
the birds sing
too-weet too-weet
perched in their rows
like choirs
how i wish i could
grasp like they do
conducting so sweetly
their electric lines
Wildfire
You rise a dawn from the treetops
Clutching the horizon like a caress
And blazing the woods white and gold
I could watch your light forever
Engulf me, Wildfire
And make me your fire, too
black hole
I.
condense creation
to a point
and time ceases
like two voices
trailing off
in the dark
II.
with enough mass
physics turn abstract
neutrons crack
and collapse
into each other
and the universe follows
III.
i remember one night
i woke up
overwhelmed
by a music
that had no sound
the notes
collapsed
into one
like jazz
keeping time
when time
has ceased
IV.
and how could i sleep without telling you
about this impossible music
how it played
at the thought of you
V.
whispers
slipping past
the event horizon
