A Burning Ember for you to Remember
Flicker
What brings you forth?
Behind the tint of sight
Lidless eye ‘‘shut wide open’’
Searching
For the time ‘Disguised’
Being chased
By the second hand of night
My mind telescoped diverse
Resisting the light
Like cherry lanterns ~ guide
The painter’s brush consumes
Like vintage wine
My troubles drift to this tunnel spin
Of question to life
My vice, of words and fix
Make breath elevate
Aware of consciousness
As I sit
Behind this kiss
Rolled up like ancient scroll
Sacred Filter secret at tip
To which one end ~ is it
That I have come undone?
That I have folded under?
That of which ~ is intimate
That of which ~ I’ve been engraved
Within the encryption of it
That of which ~ I’ve accustomed
Disorder accompanying desire
I begin to admit
Patterns of conversations by habit
A pack of cigarettes and a variety
Of silence to balance
The heart that levitates
The wick beneath the fire
