Thorns, Velvet

Round and around
the daybreak lilies, pink tinging
let us sift ivory and trample bones
along the shores of planets
drinking blood, toxic
stellar, o captivated me
roped to spat upon crosses
haunted by the pleasance of death
and the tunnels of ever fear
dream I, and them I so offer
as hate possessive to night tornado
bidding flee to hidden and warm valleys
sweep in all the reds, all the selfs
~~in a plain plain field
time lay only for a night
lighting up altars
licking salt lakes
beyond a hill,
ashes ashes, smearing
flying up from the embers
always burning, as love does, never forgetting
and yes love, I�m pulling up
the adorned coverlet you placed
upon me, singing of death and death
winds and weaving
laying with thorns and velvet bruises
here, let me lay .......
