shifting focus to the place inbetween
the becoming
once again moments beyond
an ending
strip back layers and dwell
heart rending
focus on peace of the liminal’s
teaching
be quiet and unobsessed, wait for
a new thing
it will come, it will come, be ready to
take it in
pre-flight groundwork before
embarking
it is ok to not know where, how
or when
space cleared, a gap for
the beginning
Dive deep, dark sparkle
serrated frilled
never fulfilled
that feeling
escapes
when I
tin-can my mind
cut-through is zero
once again
waiting
in the wings
afraid to fall
or execute
a lame pirouette
gavotte, garotte
ambition on the cross
of hope
frowned brow
while others float
like eagles so
easy
if I could just gather those
gossamer strings
add kohl to rims
electro-beat heart
ever elusive
a fat black moth
rectangular, irregular
air-float of a burnt thing
swooping black kite
hides
in plain sight
like beauty marks
or scars
scratches, catches, caked in corners
of eyes
the soul
on a Tuesday
oh, where have you been
underground queen
dancing away
to industrial tapes
and screaming blue Jezebel
while anyone can see
she’s a skinny succubus
or merely
a sketch of one
who wished she was
