out in the tundra
there is never
the gentle end
you long for
just eye teeth
that pursue you
for a glint of sky
deep in the bone

MORE FROM THIS POET: A selection of my micropoetry!
- #between (one night stand) >
No one survives the hunt
or the transformation
between a juddering kill
that resembles desire
& the notch of recognition
(120 characters incl. spaces)
#micropoetry
- #spiders >
spiders come from the not-self
leaving a trail of footprints
wet in the rain
to your door
as the dark earth
calls out for its own
(129 characters incl. spaces)
#micropoetry
- #unquiet spirits >
I wait, stay up late,
listen for the creak of
the unquiet spirits
that tell me
to swim upstream
and listen
to what I used to know

- #silence >
your indent on our bed has gone
the sheets are long since scentless
but the silence, in itself, remains
as another form of argument
(131 characters incl. spaces)
#micropoetry
- #between >
Dusk falls
between the trees
as nightjars and moths
trace lines
of angular momentum
and the sky recedes
to an aspect
of light and shade
(135 characters incl. spaces)
#micropoetry
- #between >
Night fades to early light
with nothing to explain
the silence gathering
between us
but the better man
I meant to be
