Susurration

 The centre cannot hold its widening gyre

 the spiral thoughts that whirl and grit 

To sit with consciousness, 

It’s ebb and flow 

The warp and weft

 that stretches out a tearing net 

That catches nothing. 

Sifting only 

The sand that makes the pearl. 

Beauty, at what cost. 


Believe someone

When they tell you about themselves. 


I will never tell you about myself. 

I am always telling you about myself.

Touch

 I can still feel the place 

In the hollow of my throat 

That you stroked, feather-light

In the darkness. 

 

Do you still feel 

The flutter of my heart

In your hand?
